Where to Buy Nike’s International Running Pack

Nike has planned a special four-shoe running collection coinciding with the track and field World Athletics Championships in Tokyo next month.

Shown here is the Nike International Running pack, which consists of the everyday Pegasus 41 and Vomero 18 models and the race-day-specific Vaporfly 4 and Alphafly 3 silhouettes. The most notable element of this collection is that the color scheme for each pair references a past Nike Running design, including the Pre Montreal racing spike for the Vaporfly 4, the Sting for the Alphafly 3, the Waffle Racer for the Pegasus 41, and the LD-1000 for the Vomero 18.

“Our goal in designing the Nike International Running Pack was to represent the deep relationship between Nike and Japan, dating back to our first years as a brand,” Katsunobu Asayama, the collection’s lead designer, said. “We wanted to meet Japanese runners’ appreciation for vintage styles by looking into our archive and applying some of our classic designs to modern Nike Running silhouettes—bringing that vintage look the community loves to our latest footwear innovations.”

Readers will be able to cop the sneakers from this Nike International Running pack starting on Aug. 30 at the Union Running Dept. By Nike in Tokyo. The collection will then be released on Sept. 5 at select retailers in Japan, followed by a global launch on Sept. 10 at Nike.com and at select retailers.
