Behind the design
Built as an all-around performer and everyday running staple, the Middle Short is a silhouette we've been refining since the very beginning. A bestseller, it's our go-to short for crushing the majority of our mileage. Made from our ultralight AFO stretch fabric, the Middle Short wicks, breathes, and dries super quickly and has an integrated brief liner and two pockets for your essential carrying needs.
