The details
THEY SAID IT WAS A CHEAP SPORT.
the shoes have their own room now.
It started with one pair of sneakers. Then came the race entries, the watch, the gels, and a very specific opinion about socks.
A heavy canvas tote for runners — and for the people who know exactly what running costs. Big enough for race-day gear, the post-race banana, and whatever arrives in a shoebox next week.
Why this, and not the usual running merch
Most gifts for runners are made by people who have never stood in the rain for four hours holding someone else's jacket. Ours are written by the people doing the waiting. That is why they land: whoever opens this has already heard the joke — usually from you.
- Written at the finish line. Not by a slogan generator.
- Printed to order. Nothing sits in a warehouse, nothing gets thrown away.
- Made to be worn out. Heavy fabric, prints that survive the wash.
- Gift-ready. No price anywhere in the box. Add a note at checkout and we write it out.
The details
- Canvas construction with shoulder straps
- Roomy main compartment and a small interior pocket

- One size
Care
Hand wash recommended. Do not bleach. Do not iron over the print.
Buy it for: the runner who definitely needed that other pair, or the partner who has learned to stop asking what they cost.
Size & care
The short version
True to size, slightly relaxed through the body. If you are between sizes, size up. If you want the oversized look people actually wear these in, size up twice.
Tees
S–3XL in 100% cotton. The easiest method: measure a t-shirt you already own and like, flat across the chest from armpit to armpit, then match that number to the chart on the product page.
Baby bodysuits
Newborn to 24 months. Age labels are a guide, so compare the flat measurements on the product page with a bodysuit that already fits.
Care
Wash cold, inside out. Do not iron directly on the print. Treated this way the print will outlast the shoes bought the same week.

Gift orders
No prices appear anywhere in the package. Leave a note at checkout and we will include it.
