Father's Day is around the corner, and we're going to buy Dad some socks, right?
Let's do that. We have plenty of options!
And you've been following along on #MYPHILLYRUN Blog, so you know to head there and look for any articles with word 'Launch' for the latest product releases, right?
Newer items are at the bottom of the page.
What else does Dad want? Other than Philadelphia Runner gear. Well.....I'm so glad I'm pretending that you asked. And to make it a bit easier for you, you can find everything listed below by clicking RIGHT HERE!
PURERUN MINIMALIST HYDRATION VEST WITH 1.5L RESERVOIR – It's fake summer leading into real summer. Meaning it's hot.....or HOT. Hydration is always essential, but especially now.
CURREX INSOLES – let's take care of our feet, shall we?
DIADORA ATOMO V7000–2 – one of the best–looking trainers on the market. Performance–wise, the perfect balance between lightweight design, responsiveness, and cushioned support. Know what I would do? Pick up a pair early and have Dad wear them to the Diadora x Like The Wind x Philadelphia Runner event this upcoming Thursday, June 13th!
DIADORA EQUIPE NUCLEO – see Atomo above. The Nucleo, although a neutral runner, offers lightweight stability as well. It's in my current running rotation. Also available in WIDE.
HOKA GAVIOTA 5 – one of my favorite stability runners. Also in my current running rotation. Wider fit than previous Gaviota models with an updated, streamlined look. This, too, is available in WIDE.
MAURTEN SOLID 160 – chewable Maurten? Like YES! 2 different flavors too!
MIZUNO WAVE INSPIRE 20 – stability AND propulsion! I wanna say it's like speeding while wearing your seatbelt, but I am not advocating breaking the law. *insert – all views are my own and do not reflect the opinion of my employer*
OOFOS EVERYTHING – see insoles above. Also, who doesn't want to be cozy pre and post run? We're talking stress release for feet, ankles, shins, and so on.
PATAGONIA BAGGIES – I read an article a few years ago that said Baggies were the most versatile short ever. Quick drying, you're right out of the water and into the rest of your day without missing a step. I can go on and on about Baggies' culture, but I'll save that for a later discussion.
SPIBELT PERFORMANCE SPIBELT – bounce–free. Weather–resistant. Pocket AND zipper. Sturdy buckle. Yeeaaahhhh.....
