The best shorts you will ever wear.

"The best running short! I al a size 14-16 and wear these in an XXL. The cut of the short is both freeing and covering for a beautiful flow and performance. The fabric is light, no texture or rubbing making these one of the most comfortable pairs of shorts I own. I allllways get compliments too. I’m an hourglass shape with a mum tum so I prefer to size up one size to help with personal preference on aesthetics."

Stepping Outside My Comfort Zone 💗

"I absolutely love my Accelerate 3” High-Rise Running Shorts in Boysenberry/Pink Rose! The comfort, amount of space, texture, and colour combination are everything. I’m usually not one for bright colours, but I wanted to step outside my comfort zone. I originally purchased these as a statement piece to celebrate completing my first half marathon, and honestly, I’ve never looked back! They made the milestone feel even more special, and I’m so happy I went for something outside my usual style. They’re comfortable, practical, and the colour combo is gorgeous. I would definitely purchase more!"

Comfortable, Colorful & Great for Running

"Super comfortable and easy to move in! I love the color and design. I wore these for an 8K run on my first try and really liked the fit and feel. However, I noticed the fabric rubbing against itself and a few loose stitches afterward. Overall, still a good purchase and very comfortable for running."

I love the feel of

"I love the feel of the shorts. Very light. Having a booty makes them a title shorter than I’m comfortable with. Also I wish I had noticed the higher waist option. I would have ordered those instead. I was constantly pulling tank down to meet my shorts so there wasn’t a gap between material."

— Stephanie H. (5/5)

The perfect run short

"Perfect for running. So light weight and flexible for movement. In love with all the colours. I sized up so they are a bit longer and didn’t find them overly big. Nice fit and drawstring feature on the waist so can always tighten them up. Would definitely recommend for warmer climates."

— Jackalyn M. (5/5)

— Bec M. (5/5)

Love the vibrant colours!

"These shorts are so light weight, non restrictive with the big hip split. The perfect pair of running shorts. I bought these as well as a mid-rise and much prefer the length of the high rise as it covered a my bum slightly more."

— Vienna D. (4/5)

SO GOOD

"Light and comfortable, id say fit a liiiittttlle but in the smaller size. I’m usually between a small and medium and ordered a small. They’re good but prob in the future will get a medium!"

— Shala R. (5/5)

Best colour combos!

"My favourite material for shorts, super lightweight, quick drying and the colour has not faded yet after 12+ washes. I would say true to size, I’m usually a small 6 and I wear a size XS. I have 6 pairs of these and will happily buy more as further colour combos come are released. No shrinkage at all from washing, (I line dry inside)."
