adidas Powerimpact Training Techfit High Neck Zip Tennis Sports Bra

My cousin's daughter wore this bra through three hours of drills, sweetheart — the Powerimpact line, Techfit compression, a high neck for coverage, and that front zip so you can breathe after. Every detail has a job to do. Now come, we are heading to Pyongyang.

Stop one

Kim Il Sung Square, its granite paving numbered for parade formations

adidas Powerimpact Training Techfit High Neck Zip Tennis Sports Bra: Sweetheart, my cousin said the granite paving at Kim Il Sung Square is numbered for parade formations, which is very organized, though I still say nobody marches well on an empty stomach. Stand nice in your sports bra and let Grandma tuck a snack in the bag, just in case history takes longer than expected.

Stop two

adidas Powerimpact Training Techfit High Neck Zip Tennis Sports Bra: Sweetheart, there is the Juche Tower across the river, a stone shaft with a red glass flame on top, glowing like your Auntie's casserole dish when she forgets the oven mitts. You look sporty enough to climb a monument, but first, a bite, please.

Stop three

the Arch of Triumph at Moranbong, built deliberately taller than the one in Paris

adidas Powerimpact Training Techfit High Neck Zip Tennis Sports Bra: Sweetheart, the Arch of Triumph at Moranbong was built deliberately taller than the one in Paris, because apparently even monuments have cousins they compete with. Zip up, stand proud, and don't let me hear you skipped lunch under an arch this ambitious.

Stop four

Puhung station on the metro, chandeliers over mosaic platforms a hundred metres down

adidas Powerimpact Training Techfit High Neck Zip Tennis Sports Bra: Sweetheart, Puhung station has chandeliers over mosaic platforms about a hundred metres down, which is fancy enough that my cousin would dust before the train arrived. If you're training down here, wear the bra, watch the step, and take a dumpling for the long escalator.

Written for this world alone.

Come here, sweetheart, let me explain this one properly, because the name is a mouthful and every word in it is doing a job. Powerimpact is adidas's medium-support family — medium, and I want you to hear that from me and not find it out halfway through a match. Techfit means it is built as compression, holding you close rather than hanging on you.

High neck means it comes up, so there is proper coverage and you are not tugging at anything between points. And zip means there is a zip up the front, which — and nobody tells you this until you are forty — is the difference between getting changed after a hot match and performing a small wrestling match in a car park.

It is moisture-wicking, so the sweat goes out through the fabric instead of sitting against your skin, and that matters more than anything else in a bra you are going to be in for two hours. The compression construction is where the support comes from in a garment like this — no hooks doing the work, the whole fabric doing it together.

The rest is what you would want.

And the front zip means you also get to put it on without going over your head, which if you have ever done your hair before a match is not a small kindness. Medium support. Compression fit. High neck. A zip. That is the whole thing, and it is a sensible, thought-through garment, and I would buy it for you.

Now. Kim Il Sung Square first, where the granite paving is numbered for parade formations — actual numbers, cut into the stone, so everyone knows exactly where to stand, and I will not pretend I do not find that a little sad.

Pyongyang, and you will stay with the group, and you will eat something before we go.

Then the Juche Tower across the river, a stone shaft topped with a red glass flame that lights up at night, and you can go up it, and the view takes in the whole river bend. The Arch of Triumph at Moranbong next, built deliberately taller than the one in Paris, which is the sort of thing a nephew of mine would do.

And Puhung station on the metro — a hundred metres down, chandeliers hanging over mosaic platforms, the most beautiful room in the city, and it is a train station, and everybody uses it.

“The most beautiful room in the whole city is a train platform, and everyone rides through it every morning.”

Medium support, compression, high neck, front zip. Eat something first.
