I was going to do my second marathon. During my first marathon, I wore a branded black leggings that were terrible for running, giving me chaff and was constantly dropping. I promised my self that if I was ever going to run again I wanted a pair of leggings that stayed in place, especially around the waist, and in a material that would “support, firm and breathe. Something that would feel like a second skin, giving me power - not slowing me down. 

 I wanted it to feel like I was running naked but with a shield of firmness. 

I looked all over Europe for a material that had a compression feel and that would follow the movements of the body while running. The material I was looking for had to be very specific to follow the running movement and with high technical standards. I also wanted it produced under fair conditions in Europe. I found a woman that could help me with the construction and functionality and together we had created the Ultimate Running Legging.

To create the ultimate legging for a women

For a runner, it is super important that the legs can move freely and doesn't get strained. Equally important is a waist designed to support but most important to stay in place.

Together with an artist, we created the pattern by hand. It was made in many layers to get the perfect deep natural looking pattern. All other prints I found was either too plain or too flat. I wanted a pattern with depth, handcrafted to get the luxurious look of a real animal. I have always been inspired by nature. Wild and free animals is my greatest source of inspiration and I feel like a wild and free leopard when I run. That gives me the extra power.
