The Nike Internationalist Mid gets some special Japanese influence for the “Ekiden” pack. Inspired by the tradition of ekiden races, which are long distance relays, the two colorways of the mid-top version of the classic Nike runner feature makeovers for the Hakone Ekiden event this January. The two colorways with woodgrain-textured paneling come in your choice of a woody brown, tan, and dark ash combination or a decidedly darker look in Drk Ash and Anthracite. Both colorways are available now from select Japanese sneaker shops like atmos in quickstrike quantities.
