What’s up with all this fairy tale rubbish and happy endings? Have you ever heard of the real “Little Red Riding Hood?” It’s actually called “Little Red Running Shorts.” It’s about a swearing little girl with ugly brown scruffy hair that goes to see her grandad. “But Mum I don’t want to go see smelly old Grandad,” the girl loudly shrieked while stomping her foot. “You’re going to see your grandad, you smelly toad of a daughter,” the mother of the girl yelled, pushing her daughter towards the door. "Get there fast; also bring him this basket of wolf hair.” “FINE!” She screeched, and with that she left off towards her grandad. Little Red Running Shorts ran past a swamp, a forest, and then a cave. Little Red Running Shorts didn’t want to see her grandad, so she went into the cave hoping to find something more interesting. She also wanted to cause some trouble for whoever lived in the cave. The cave was pitch black, the walls were wet and mouldy. It smelt like a dump, maybe even worse, but she kept walking on until she heard a loud growl ahead of her. “Grrrrrr who are you and what are you doing in my home?” “NONE, OF YOUR BUSINESS," she replied angrily, also loudly. “You’re being quite rude, aren’t you”? The wolf said, staring at her with his big beady eyes and his mouth closed together with his teeth striking out of his mouth onto his lips. “As if I care wolf, I’m Little Red Running Shorts. I can do whatever I want!” And this time she had her nose up high showing how highly she thinks of herself, now this made the wolf angry, but the wolf was clever and he had a devious plan. “Can you please leave my home? I’ll escort you to your destination, just to show how sorry I am for being rude,” the wolf said humbly, also bowing to the girl that barged into his house. The wolf then showed Little Red Running Shorts outside and picked up the basket of Wolf Hair with a tag on it saying 'To Grandad, have this wolf hair I shaved, from dear mother.' This made the wolf furious, but he had to stick with his plan. “Let’s go, to your grandad right now,” the wolf called to Little Red Running Shorts. And off they went. After a few minutes of traveling through the forest they finally reached Grandad. Wolf Lead the girl inside then before they knew what was happening… The wolf chased them EVERYWHERE across the mountains, the forest and the swamps, but they were then chased into a huge sack at the house. Then the wolf rang the mother to say to come over, then she was caught, too. They were put into three tiny cages and there they stay forever locked inside. That will teach them to be nasty people and create havoc for everyone. The true story. FOLLOW US.

The Patagonia Strider Pro rules the field in two different categories of our extensive testing — pocket performance and waistband comfort — easily earning them top accolades. Available in both 5" and 7" versions (we tested the 5"), this pair includes the most carrying capacity of any shorts we tested with five total pockets — two stretchy elastic pockets on each side that are great for snacks, and a zippered rear pocket with a key loop that perfectly fits a regular-sized iPhone. The elastic waistband is also very comfortable, with a low profile and smooth surface against the skin. We especially appreciated that the drawstrings are tied on the outside of the shorts so that they don't rub and chafe on long runs like every other model with inside tying points. Add in a silk-like recycled polyester liner with included odor suppressing agents, and we find little to complain about with these excellent running shorts. Despite the DWR coating on the exterior polyester fabric, these shorts aren't the fastest to dry out. They are also more expensive than any other choice. But if you simply want the best and most comfortable, we recommend you finish your search right here. Best Performance and Comfort. Brooks Sherpa 5" Running shorts are a relatively simple piece of clothing, and many folks are simply seeking a comfortable pair that performs well. If this sounds like you, give the Brooks Sherpa 5" a gander. They feature a silky smooth liner, a stretchy and soft waistband, and they're available in loads of different colors. They're also one of the only models in our test fleet that have a dedicated key pocket sewn into the liner. However, we were disappointed to discover that none of the pockets on these shorts are large enough to fit our average-sized iPhone. If you typically use a phone armband or have a smartwatch that you wear while exercising, this probably won't be a dealbreaker. The side pockets, one on each side, seem explicitly designed with gels in mind, and other snacks may not fit. We highly recommend opting for the Brooks Sherpa if this pocket design doesn't bother you. Best Bang for the Buck. Baleaf 5" Pocketed. The Baleaf 5" Pocketed shorts are our go-to for budget running shorts. You could buy two to three pairs of these for the same price as one of the premium models. The Baleaf includes three large pockets (two deep hand pockets on the sides and one large rear zippered pocket), convenient for carrying whatever you need. The mesh liner is comfortable and offers plenty of support. On the downside, despite their polyester material, these shorts are slow to dry. The deep pockets can hold large items, but also bounce a lot when running. We find the thick waistband to be a bit hotter and more present than some other options. Despite these minor complaints, Baleaf makes an effective workout or running short — and it's hard to argue with the price. Most Comfortable Liner. Rabbit FKT 5" Running is a very repetitive motion, which means you want the most comfortable pair of shorts you can find if you're going to avoid chafing. Our favorite liner is found in the Rabbit FKT 5" shorts. These super smooth briefs do their job of offering support against bouncing while running without hugging too tightly, and they're very comfortably sewn around the edges. They also have a flat waistband unlike any other that is a godsend for reducing rubbing or itching. Combine this with two large hip pockets and a rear zippered pocket large enough for a phone, and you have a winning combination. Of course, you shouldn't be surprised to see a high price tag coupled with high quality and comfort, which is the principal drawback to these rad shorts. However, we think they are worth it. We do wish the drawstring was a bit more low profile or situated on the outside of the waistband. Still, for optimal comfort and support, these are a tough pair to beat. Best Liner-Free Option. Adidas Design 2 Move. The vast majority of running shorts come with a built-in liner, but for dudes who would rather their shorts be liner-less, we recommend the Adidas Design 2 Move shorts. They have absolutely no interior liner, so you'll need to pair these with your underwear or go commando. They also include a fair bit of Climacool mesh, which aids in breathability and fast drying, and they're relatively inexpensive. The two large hand pockets make it easy to wear these shorts to and from the gym, as they easily hold any items you need to carry. Of course, a lack of liner means a lack of support, which may not be a big deal when working out, but typically becomes an issue when running regularly.

Estleman Copyright Page 1 ERNEST KRELL LOATHED WINDOWS. The warehouse on the Detroit River that he had converted into offices with his wife’s money didn’t have any, and the house the Krells shared in Bloomfield Hills, a large brick splitlevel with an acre of slick lawn and decorative shrubbery masking the broken glass atop the brick wall that encircled it, was equipped with those tricky amber panels that allow light in but won’t let you see inside or out. Every journalist who had ever written him up in Detroit Monthly and Guns and Ammo had hauled out his vest-pocket Freud to explain the aversion, but the plain fact was Krell had been with the United States Secret Service for seventeen years and had grown tired of warning people away from windows. I rang his doorbell on the first lush day of summer. You know the one: You go to bed with rain rattling against the siding and when you get up, the trees are fat with leaves and the sky is so blue it hurts your eyes. The birds are in good voice, the breeze is like a lover’s breath on your cheek, and even in the city, under the soft asphalt and sweet auto exhaust, you can smell fresh-cut grass.

PAYNE A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Honors in the Major Program in Anthropology in the College of Sciences and in The Burnett Honors College at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Summer Term 2015 Thesis Chair: Dr. Joanna Mishtal ABSTRACT “Athleisure” is a relatively new term to the American lexicon, a portmanteau used to describe athletic clothing used for leisure purposes. Recent studies show a disconnect between consumers’ desire to purchase athletic attire and the percentage of Americans considered “active to a healthy level and beyond.” While athletic wear sales skyrocket, reported levels of inactivity have slowly increased in recent years. These trends indicate a phenomenon in which consumers prioritize ownership of athletic wear over athletics.

  • The 5 Next Activewear Opportunities in Southeast Asia
    OCTOBER 2020 • PRODUCT & TREND The 5 Next Activewear Opportunities in Southeast Asia Introduction | The Region’s Strong Sell-Out Performance| Five Growth Opportunities | Key Next Steps Written by Amelia Teh, Head of Business Intelligence OCTOBER 2020 • PRODUCT & TREND Introduction ADIDAS SINGAPORE HOMEPAGE ON MAY 8, 2020 AS CAPTURED BY OMNILYTICS’ VISUAL MERCHANDISING SOLUTION Key Insights • Covid-19 Shifts Demand: Southeast Asians’ growing need to stay healthy and comfortable with daily wear have translated to strong demand for running gear and yoga wear. At the same time, they also demand for value in purchases. • Women on the Rise: Women’s category for running outperformed men’s in terms of sell-out growth at +55% vs. +28% in the last 6 months, against the previous period (Apr – Sep 2020 versus Oct 2019 – Mar 2020). • Sustainability Awareness: Activewear products containing recycled materials have doubled in the past 6 months. The pro-longed Covid-19 pandemic has given rise to running and other forms of exercise including home fitness regimes. This new norm coupled with the existing demand for activewear to be worn as daily wear, have led consumers in Southeast Asia to spend more on the segment as it enters essential consumption. While athleisure-inspired and performance footwear leads activewear in the region, there are opportunities in the other categories. This report shares the five neXt growth opportunities of activewear, in a region that will become the world’s fourth- largest economy worth approXimately $4 trillion USD by the neXt decade. Exactly 69,121 data points were analysed from October 2019 to September 2020 (last 12 months) on womenswear and menswear from Nike, Adidas, Under Armour, New Balance and Puma, including both mono-brand and multi-label retailer sites such as Zalora, Bobobobo and Sports Direct across Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia.
