Inspired by the high-octane energy and beloved traditions of ekiden—Japan’s annual series of long distance road relays—the 2020 Relay Collection is delivered in Edo purple and vivid green, the colors of the flag and official symbol of the Tokyo Metropolis. Brought to life in illustrations by Tokyo artist,
Hiroki Nishiyama.

No ekiden kit would be complete without the tasuki: the team sash exchanged at each leg, collecting their sweat and forging a physical and psychological bond between runners. Our version is finished with “Ganbatte” or “Do Your Best,” the cheer shouted by thousands of fans along the course. It ships with the Relay Singlet in limited-edition packaging, inspired by Japanese tsutsumi design.
