LIGHT AS AIR
Thirty years after Nike debuted the original Air Max 1 – the
shoe that made Nike a household name – the iconic brand
has launched the new and improved
Air Max 2015
, featuring
the soft, bouncy cushioning that Nike Air fans know and
love. The latest in a long series of Air Max designs, the new
model is lighter than ever. It boasts a seamless mesh upper for
better breathability, foot motion and flexibility, an internal heel
cup for a snug foot-to-sole fit, and a waffled outer-sole for
enhanced road traction. Available in six colours (three men’s
and three women’s), the shoe can be customised at
nike.

. $299. Nike, 1 Scotts Road, #01-02 Shaw Centre.
OUTRUN CANCER
Get your sneakers on and gear up for the
annual
Terry Fox Run Singapore
on 8
February. Held all over the world each year,
this non-competitive charity event is named
in honour of the Canadian amputee runner
who attempted to run across Canada in
1981 to raise money for cancer research.
Whether you choose to run the 10K route,
or run or walk the 5K (you can even push
a stroller), your participation is key – funds
raised go to research programmes at the
Singapore Cancer Society. Flag off at 7.30am
at Big Splash, 902 East Coast Parkway.

GOLFING
FOR
GOOD
Golf enthusiasts can look forward to getting
on the green for a good cause at the third
annual

golf tournament,
taking place on 8 March at Batam’s Palm
Springs Golf and Beach Resort. Together
with a lunchtime charity auction, the
tournament will raise money for orphanages
in Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam and the
Philippines; funds will support ongoing

dormitories, roads, playgrounds and libraries
to improve the living and learning conditions
of less fortunate children.

CLICKS
AND
MORTAR
French sports chain
Decathlon has officially
launched its first physical
presence in Singapore
after operating solely as an
ecommerce site here for
the past two years. Those
looking for sports gear and
equipment can now try out
the brand’s unique, new “click-and-mortar” retail concept,
The Decathlon
eXperience
, which gives the conventional in-store shopping trip a digital
twist. In the 7,000-square-foot experiential zone, customers can try out
thousands of products, representing over 65 sporting activities, firsthand –
from bouncing on trampolines and taking bicycles for a spin to testing yoga
mats and hiking boots – before using one of the store’s giant computers
to self-check-out online. In-store staff members are on hand to walk you
through the various product lines, and goods can be delivered or carried
home – there’s also the option to order online and collect from the store. 58
Kim Yam Road, #01-01.
