My favorite running sunglasses brand drops some heat, Bandit goes emo, RAD goes Goth, On’s restructured CloudMonster, Jorty spice, and some illegal-feeling prorotype racing shoe previews.
The whole website has been redesigned to favour streetwear, and that's what's on display first in the store. I'm bummed because some of my best running gear is from 2017-2021 when Lulu was producing some incredible shorts and bras, and they did a fantastic job capitalizing on the running craze during the pandemic. I wish they'd go back to using some more OG fabrics and designs - so much of what's offered today feels like fast fashion dupes.
Been looking for a new pair on sunglasses to run in as my decade old oakleys are probably on their last legs. Might take a swing at those ridar sports
My favorite newsletter of the week!
Another banger! Thanks Cole.
You mentioned some folks are seeing Lulu's Tokyo line looking like Bandit. I went into Lululemon today and saw this matching Wonder Under set giving major Tracksmith vibes. https://shop.lululemon.com/en-ca/p/wunder-train-no-line-piped-high-rise-short-6/ymiwmbmg8y?color=76023

Also, I had no idea KIPRUN was a thing outside of a (lower tier?) sports store in Canada called Decathlon (https://www.decathlon.ca/en/c/23316/kiprun). They, too, carry some very Bandit-esque items (case in point: https://www.decathlon.ca/en/p/8892090/women-s-lightweight-running-tank-top-run-900-light).
I will be making an appearance at the Jorts Mile.

Not sure I'll pick anything up from the Bandit drop but that video really got me motivated to go for a run
and honestly anything that does that is good in my book. Whatever it takes!
For sure! Any piece of running marketing that either makes me nostalgic for running or actually want to run is successful in my book.
nice
