Hello! This is Seattle in 2023
This story is about John, a 5 year old child, exploring the specific North-west forest with his mother.
Hi my name is John I am 5 years old. Here at Washington, there are so many forest surrounding us, and I love it here! Every Saturday I get to take mom to visit the forests.
In the forest I am a daring explorer, looking for pebbles and leaves that I can treasure at home.
But in order to unleash the explorer within me to be a true explorer, I must wear my lululemon PlayFeel!
This shoes makes me a greater explorer in many ways. The first things is my Foraging pocket by the heel of the shoes. It is a small pocket where I can keep the collection of little pebbles that I find.
But as the collection of my pebbles grow, so do I. I am growing! Its a problem because my shoes don't fit me anymore.
My mom wanted to buy me shoes that was too big for me so that I could wear the shoes longer. Luckily for me, Playfeel grows with me.
Playfeel is folded in a way that hides away extra room for my feet. Whenever my feet starts feeling too tight, I ask mommy to help me make it bigger. She is really happy when she sees my shoes grow bigger and bigger.
Once my Playfeel fits me again, I then unleash myself to go out for another adventure. But did you know, Playfeel has Elk as its spirit animal?
Now I am 8 years old. I started to try out new sports and adventures. I have grown so much, and I'm all about being quicker and taking on new challenges. That is why I use speedfeel.
Guess what? The forest becomes my testing ground, where I see how fast I can be. They even named these shoes Speedfeel, because they help me give it my all
The best part? They're inspired by Pacific Tree Frogs.
There's a special air pocket like frog‘s air sac under the shoe that I can pump up with air.
That way, whether I'm on a hard city sidewalk or uneven forest path, I've got the perfect grip and cushion.
Both Funfeel and Playfeel got the same ability to transform and grow with me.
My mom follows me on these spontaneous journeys, from the city to the forest and back.
My mom is energetic, and she doesn't just watch me play; she also plays along with me, so she needs agility and speed as well.
While I have Speedfeel and Movefeel, Mommy has Movefeel.
Movefeel has some of the same things on my shoes to let mom play with me. For example, the air pocket under the foot. Her shoes also has greater protection so that she doesn't hurt herself when trying to keep up with someone so fast like me.
Movefeel lets me know that mom loves me a lot. She also says she likes to show off that she is my mom at work by wearing this shoes. Today we will go on another journey.
