The Story

Lightning never announces itself.

Sun Tzu wrote: "Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt." Across the world, the men who fight that way have worn the bolt ever since. Speed decides more fights than strength. By the time you hear the thunder, it has already struck.

The shorts are cut well above the knee, so the leg moves freely. The fabric is light and stretches with every stride. The drawcord is sewn into the back of the elastic waistband, so the wash can't pull it out. The cords end in metal. The inner pockets sit snug, so phone and keys stay put on a run and nothing pushes out of the leg. The print is black on black and only shows up close.
