Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

2XU and Distinct Vision are Inspired by the Badwater 135

— August 1, 2024 — Art & Design
Australian imprint 2XU works in collaboration with Los Angeles brand District Vision on a collection that is inspired by the difference between life and death at the Badwater 135. The two dream up a collaborative range that is influenced by the ultramarathon with three outfits from 2XU to match a pair of lightweight D+ lens rimless sunglasses. Badwater 135 is one of the toughest foot races starting at Death Valley and ending at Mount Whitney.

The collection is made up of nine new pieces -- ranging from tops, bottoms, and accessories kicking off with the Desert Runner Asymmetrical Hooded Pullover. It is made with light Payen Run stretchy fabric and has a breathable grid mesh in the form of a long-sleeve top. Other items include the Desert Run Tee, the Desert Runner Singley, Desert Runner Compression Tights and Shorts, the Desert Runner Cap, Desert Runner Compression Arm Guards, and Calf Guards.
