It was cold so coldly that it made Spring feel distant even on the day we interviewed on the last day of the event, and it was rainy. Although it can be easily seen from the photograph, apparently, NIKE users, and eventually it seems that the weather is not at all a hindrance to the air max loyers.

Although it is my feeling value to the last, nearly half of the visitors seem to have participated in this event wearing NIKE made shoes. Until so much, the expectation for this event is high, the fans must have participated with a high calorie.
