Iconic Canadian fast food chain Tim Hortons celebrates National Coffee Day with a new collection full of cozy silhouettes dubbed the Tims Run Club capsule. It references going on 'coffee runs' and not actually for the performance of running. The capsule is made up of silhouettes including graphic tees, long-sleeved tops, socks, slides, sweatbands, hats, and windbreaker jackets.
The color palette is rooted in black and white and it is led by the windbreaker, which is designed to withstand any spilling. The white long sleeve shirt is designed with the brand's signature typeface on the sleeve and the chest reads "Tims Run Club." The slides arrive in a cream color with Tims's branding on the front strap.
