Editor’s Note: Lululemon will be restocking all products and introducing new colours across this summer and autumn
I was lucky enough to watch Lululemon’s 2024 Further campaign unfurl first-hand, watching from the sidelines of Lake Cahuilla in La Quinta, California, as 10 women attempted to run for six straight days. Not only did the event lead to personal and world records, but it provided an opportunity to conduct women’s-first research and address the existing sex and gender gap within endurance running. And that included shoes and apparel, specifically designed to meet the needs of female ultrarunners.
Ever since I clocked eyes on the athletes' kits at Lake Cahuilla, I’ve been quietly waiting for them to drop. Lululemon had a soft launch in April when it released the Five trends in super shoes. Now the entire Further capsule is available — including the coveted Runsie. The kit underwent six days of rigorous and thorough testing, accumulating over 2,880 miles in total.
Here’s everything you need to look like you ran Further, piece by piece.
This one-piece is made of smooth, lightweight material called Ultralu, while the waistband has 360-degree storage (a gamechanger). It also features an easy-to-use pull function for quick breaks. Read: you don’t have to use a portaloo completely naked.
The Five trends in super shoes was given rousing acclaim after it was tested by the RW staff. ‘She is my new favourite,’ said Senior Features Editor Pavlína Černá. ‘If I were ever forced to choose just one of my bras to run in for the rest of my running life, she would be it.’
Why do we love it? Soft Nulu material, which is the same fabric used in Lululemon’s leggings. It controls bounce with Support Code technology, a bonding technique that maintains the natural shape of the breast while also providing movement management.
This top has it all: pockets in the chest, upper, and mid-back for ice storage; a front cutout for ventilation, and laser-cut edges to prevent chafing.
The beauty of the Further capsule is that you get to pick and choose outfits. Still not wild about running in a one-piece? You can pair the tank with these run shorts, which have the same inseam length (3 inches) and offer 360-degree storage, just like the Runsie. The split-leg design also allows for increased mobility and ventilation.
Not into a 3-inch inseam? Lululemon has you covered with an 8-inch short that has side drop pockets, as well as 360-degree storage in the waistband (are you seeing a theme here?). Like all products in the collection, every detail of the High Rise Race Short is constructed with care: no medial seam on the pant legs, velvety flocking instead of a drawcord on the waistband, and quick-drying Nulux fabric.
The High Rise Race Tight is basically a longer inseam version of the High Rise Race Short. You have 28 inches of coverage on the legs, the same 360-degree pocket waistband, and drop-in compartments on the sides, along with smooth-as-smooth cooling Nulux fabric.
Put together, this collection is great for ultrarunners, but it’s also a fantastic option for athletes seeking comfort, support, style, and a confidence boost.
