The website is still open. Someone online mentioned the website was for a raffle. Was that confirmed? There are a few picture leaks on Instagram (image sourced from @jxt.global_official)

Running influencer, Lucy Georgia, started a sunglass company after stating she was unable to find a pair of running sunglasses that were proportionate to smaller faces. It looks like the brand is catering towards the women audience based on the website and instagram page. The first drop of Tortoise and Butter frames already sold out. The website says they are restocking mid August.

Also, check out Cole Townsend's substack post on running sunglasses alternatives.

Crashing Out over these DV Shorts

I am absolutely losing sleep over these 5" Training Shorts by District Vision. I saw these go on sale and absolutely loved the brown vibe with the green DV logo tab. I purchased them and didn't do any other investigation which has come back to haunt me. 

I ordered these in a size Large (online guide says 32-33) which is my preferred waist for running shorts. DV sent me a size Small. I emailed their customer service, and they apologized and eventually got me the size Large that I originally ordered. I finally get the Larges in the mail, and they are GIANT (swimming in the waist). Now I start to panic because I read on DV's website that discounted items are final sale.

I don't know about the other runners on this sub, but I am extremely particular about how my running clothes fit. If I am out on the road for 10-20 miles, I don't want to think about a garment causing unnecessary friction or being too tight/loose.

So, I emailed DV's customer service again and they were nice enough to honor one more exchange for a size Medium (at this point, the lady I am emailing must be sick of me). While I am waiting for the Medium to arrive, DV marks the sale down from 25% off to 50% off. So, the shorts were originally $150 down to $105 when I ordered, and now they are $75... (Sad I paid more, and still don't have the garment)

I got them and the waistband fits (thank God).  I went for an easy 6 mile run, and the front leg opening of the shorts kept on catching and dragging on my thighs the entire time. It drove me crazy. I either have too big of an ass, or the leg opening is not big enough. (For reference I am 5' 8", 145lbs)

At this point, I'm sad because I really really wanted to love these shorts. $105 plus $15 shipping is not cheap in any capacity. I also cannot return them because 1. I've worn them 2. Final sale 3. The customer service lady would probably hate to see my name show up in her email again... 

They are on sale at District Vision & Backcountry with free shipping so if you have tiny legs with no ass, these might be for you. I will say, I don't love the envelope pocket in the back. I usually drive to meet friends for runs and was scared that my keys would fall out of the pocket so I hid them under a bush.

I'd love to hear someone else's crash out story in attempts to make me feel better that I've just thrown $120 out the door and will have a new pair of shorts sitting at the bottom of my closet.

On X PAF

Images leaked from Paris Fashion Week on Instagram. Does anyone have any insider on when this line will be released? Rumors said early spring, but maybe this was delayed due to PAF Central Cee / District Vision and On Lightspray / Loewe…
