Running Buddies: The Our Legacy WORK SHOP x Satisfy Upcycled Running Capsule
Words by Will Halbert
Crafted exclusively from rescued fabrics, the Our Legacy WORK SHOP x Satisfy running capsule offers upcycled style by the mile
It’s a universally accepted but unanimously-denied fact that running is awful. It’s an activity reserved solely for those that harbour either a sadomasochistic streak or a savage aversion to real fun. I know this. You know this. But we press on regardless, red of face, sore of knees, and sporting all the grace and élan of a narcoleptic seal. Let’s face it: in the joyless, endless, feat of foot-to-ground forward momentum, we need all the help we can get.
Enter Stockholm-based indie label, Our Legacy. With fifteen years of contemporary fits and proprietary fabrics behind it, the brand is a dab hand at putting a fresh flourish on otherwise familiar faces. The brand’s latest collaboration with Parisian luxury technical running brand, Satisfy, is a fine case in point. Both brands have come together to craft an upcycled running capsule comprising ultra-light, pigment-dyed tops and hi-tech short shorts. There’s even a nifty drawstring cap and moisture-wicking bandana for those looking to accessorise during their near-psychotic bouts of needless acceleration.
Jokes aside, the kit looks uniformly excellent, with Satisfy’s fiercely technical Deltapeak™ and Justice™ fabrics providing the perfect playground for Our Legacy WORK SHOP’s passion for repurposing surplus materials. The capsule won’t necessarily help you run faster, nor will it stop you from turning your shins and spine into a distant memory, but it will make that daily attempt to outrun your deep-seated, existential angst a breezy, steezy, and oh-so-stylish one.
The Our Legacy WORK SHOP x Satisfy collection drops May 7th via the Satisfy webstore.
