Introducing the BEAMS Special order model of the long-distance racing shoe “RC205,” which has become a hot topic by breaking world records twice in the past.

2020.08.17

BEAMS Special order model is now available from the long-distance racing shoe "RC205," which was based on a model developed in Japan in the late 1990s and gained attention after twice breaking the marathon world record. Pre-orders will begin on August 17th (Monday) at BEAMS ONLINE SHOP, and sales will begin on September 19th (Saturday) at BEAMS ONLINE SHOP and stores nationwide.

Special order model is a classic running shoe, and has been made with coarse mesh material, which is trending in the sneaker fashion scene these days, giving it a more fashionable look. In addition, the black and gray color scheme was inspired by the clothing and goal tape worn by athletes who have set world records twice in the past. The insole is also a special design inspired by goal tape. The nostalgic retro running silhouette creates an eye-catching pair with a subdued color scheme.

A special item that combines the functionality of NEW BALANCE with the fashion of BEAMS.

The model that forms the basis of the ``RC205'' is the Japanese-developed ``COMP800,'' which appeared in 1996. In 1997, it was renamed "RC110" and in 2004, it was renamed "RC205". The RC205, which has been reborn as a lifestyle model this season, is equipped with ABZORB, which combines excellent shock absorption and rebound resilience, and boasts high running stability, and Ndurance, which specializes in wear resistance. It offers both cushioning and durability.
