Concept

We designed the Women's Machina to be our favorite distance running shorts of all time, ideal for everything from laps around the neighborhood to 10k racing. They've been worn for a host of 5k to half marathon road race wins across the Midwest and West, and were worn by Marit's first sponsored athlete for everything from track days to long runs to pre-race warmups in her lead-up to winning the 2025 USA Outdoor Track & Field Champs in the 5000m.

  • A 3" inseam, hi-rise waist, and full side splits
