GYAKUSOU is the [running apparel branch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bandit-winter-2024) that was started by the contributions of NikeLab and UNDERCOVER -- it recently launched a new capsule that readily prepares for the Fall 2019 season. The upcoming GYAKUSOU collection features essential goods for running that are made from progressive fabrication and inspired by the energy that represents a bold rebellious spirit of the 70s.

The 70s was recognized as the running reculution as it emerged as an entity that strived away from competition, branching towards [trail and urban running practices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/driftform-collection) as well. The collection features six pieces in total, including a long sleeve shirt with a zippered removable hood, two tees, shorts, and pants. The most important element of the capsule is functionality, with the construction that promises breathability and combats outdoor terrain. The GYAKUSOU Fall 2019 capsule is set to launch on September 26th.
