Roark Run Amok Guidebook: Spring 22

ADVENTURE LEADS OUR PURSUIT SPRING 22 OAXACA


SOMEWHERE BETWEEN FREEDOM AND CHAOS

Roark welcomes you to Run Amok. The idea of running in our ‘own’ way, in our ‘own’ gear forced us to re-imagine how running shorts should look and feel. Rethinking technical features and implementing graphic expression is part of our unending pursuit of raising the bar in the running short category. Curiosity for the world around us drives our pursuit of exploration, a desire to hear the commotion alongside the silence, discover new paths, and feel the warmth from newfound connections.

OUR GLOBAL MISSION As travelers and manufacturers is to always leave the campsite better than how we found it.

G I V E B A C K I N I T I AT I V E S Roark’s “Safe Camp Foundation” is our internal give-back platform focused on leaving the communities we visit better off than when we arrived. Photography

Strange On The Range OAXACA, MEXICO

The vibrant color found in the streets and mountains of Oaxaca mixed with a dose of mysticism consumed on our steamy runs, inspired the Spring Collection bringing function and edge to the perceived monotony of running. Each season we immerse ourselves in the culture of a new destination, allowing our discoveries and experiences to guide the gear we produce. We hope you dig it.
