The Decathalon is a track and field event that takes place over the course of two days and has ten discipline sets. Now, nearly a century later, the sneaker pack features the Legacy 96, the Fusion 2.0, the Synchron Classic, and the Aria 95. Similar to the event, it is launching over the course of two days as well. The designs are showcased in a lookbook that is lead creatively by Cris Kuhlen and photographed by Taufiq Hosen. The shadows in the photos nod to the first five disciplines of the Decathalon.
