Welcome to Talking Points, a series that looks at what makes certain products worth talking about, brought to you by Gear Patrol Studios.
Roark’s new collection with Motörhead is inspired by a love of music and running. The collaboration makes sense, with millions of runners nationwide plugging in and jamming out for miles at a time, and arrives with plenty of pieces that can empower your favorite routine.
A mix of “unabashed chaos” and “unhinged expression,” the collection reminds fans to “move at their own damn pace” – a philosophy we can definitely get behind. The new pieces aim to rage against the aesthetics of traditional pastel-colored activewear and offer plenty of race-ready technical performance pieces. Equipped with everything from comfortable knit tees to moisture-wicking running shorts, this new collection tells fans, “you better run.”
