DOXA's performance running wear collection returns for another season and for Fall/Winter 2018, the Copenhagen-based brand collaborates with Swedish NGO Global Relations and the Kenswed Academy in Nairobi, Kenya. The ultra-sleek capsule highlights a half-zip hoodie and compression tights that are sure to keep one warm and dry during a winter run.
The running jacket, for example, has a four-way stretch fabric that brings the range of motion to a comfortable level, while the reflective hits assure that the athlete is visible at night. In addition, the tights boast a UPF 50+ for extra protection.
Every year, DOXA contributes to the Kenswed Academy — a school that is designed for individuals who cannot attend traditional schools due to economic or social reasons, with a performance running wear kit to inspire its athletes.
