Running Fashion Roundup — August 8 to August 16
Finally some more motion here after a sleepier summer. July to early August tends to be dry since everyone is planning their stuff for fall. For more opinionated, weekly roundups peep my weekly newsletter for more in depth commentary.
Recent
- Diadora Corsa — $155 high stack lightweight trainer with an SCF midsole and TPU foam insole. Retro silhouette, aimed at everyday training. Should feel pretty lively and compete with the other brands. Men's colorway is a vibe.
- Hylo Impact 2 — UK brand's daily trainer refreshed, a bio-based nitrogen-infused SCF. 50% sustainable and recycled content, updated upper fit. $155, out now.
- Nike Vomero Plus (Cow Print) — $190, dropped August 6. Animal prints having a moment.
- Norda FW26 Colorups — new colorways for fall, plus a new Norda 055 G+ with microspikes for aggressive terrain.
- District Vision FW26 — updated colorways and silhouettes across the core line and apparel, airflow theme. Altitude Master and Junya Racer are the signatures, lots of photochromic lenses. This is what Harry Styles was wearing in all his marathons.
- Kuro Athletics Eyewear — new luxury performance eyewear brand. Killer optics, titanium build. Incredibly high end, these are not for the faint of heart or wallet...if money is no object take a look.
- Brooks Running x Free People Movement — collab on the Glycerin 23 and Glycerin Max 2 with FP motifs, ribbon and fuzzy laces. Cute!
- Saucony Majors Collection — marathon Majors colorways, more wearable than usual. NYC in soft blue and gold is the standout.
- Raide Women's Trail Line — integrated race cargo crop with a built-in bra at $129, essentially a race crop and trail vest in one, plus a women's-specific belt that sits on the hips. Both nearly sold out. I'm jealous of the new women's cargo crop.
- Hermanos Koumori x New Era — latest HK/New Era collab, more understated than their heat map graphics with chainstitch styling.
- CARNIVAL x Garmin — Bangkok streetwear store's collab with Garmin, more co-label than collaboration.
- Wyrd Running — new witchy prints added to tops and shorts, including banker stripe shorts and a medieval tee. Hard to get stateside.
- SOAR — has some new colorways of their singlets out and brought back the leopard print as well as a new kaleidoscope pattern
Upcoming
- Puma x SAYSKY — their noted "final" collab, business attire themed apparel plus a Deviate NITRO Elite 4 and MagMax NITRO 2. Dropping August 20. Someone leaked here.
- Nike Kigerfly — teased trail racer, ribbed knit upper with a higher bootie ankle and ZoomX foam. Jennifer Lichter wore it for her WSER win and record.
- Saucony x Keith Haring — another round with the Keith Haring Foundation, bold patterns and illustrations. Date TBD.
- Adidas x Song for the Mute – shared already here. Aussie brand collab in round 2.
