Mile-Tested: Meet Our New Race Kit

Shaped by real training blocks. See how the new collection was prototyped, worn hard, and refined by our own runners.

Before a single piece of the new race kit reached a shelf, it had already logged more than 1,200 miles on the backs, shoulders, and feet of our own crew.

Prototypes on real runs

The design team sewed twelve rounds of samples and handed every one of them to runners with a simple brief: wear it on your hardest sessions and tell us what annoyed you.

Feedback arrived as voice notes from the finish of long runs, photos of chafing, and more than one strongly worded message about pocket placement.

“If a seam rubs at mile eighteen, it doesn't matter how good it looked on the hanger.”

Priya Nandakumar, product designer

What changed

The singlet lost two seams and gained laser-cut ventilation along the spine. The shorts now hold a phone and two gels without bouncing, thanks to a wider back pocket anchored to the waistband.

Fabric weight dropped by almost a third compared to our previous race kit, while the recycled content climbed past sixty percent.

Ready for the start line

The collection launches in four colourways, each named after a training route the crew runs every week. Every piece is machine washable, quick-drying, and cut to layer under a shell on colder mornings.

The best compliment it received in testing came from a runner who forgot she was wearing new kit until the post-race photo.
