Print Story - Summit
design evolved from a conversation around "mountain logic" — how a runner forms the link between earth and sky through their ascent and descent of vertical terrain. Look for the ladder in the print, symbolizing that connection and transcendence.

Print Story - Under Cover

As part of our American Southwest Collection, this print was designed by Santa Fe-based multimedia artist and pro mountain trail runner Christian Gering. ​​A monochromatic, reflective version of the “Star Cover” print rotated on a 45º axis like stars shooting across the night sky. This design represents a connection across generations to ancestors who guide us, lighting our path.

sustainability

Our AFO fabric is composed of 88% recycled polyester. We use high-grade recycled polyester made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic like rPET (a form of recyclable plastic commonly found in single-use bottles and containers) to reduce the impact of our apparel without sacrificing on performance, durability or comfort.

AFO fabric is also bluesign® certified meaning it is free from harmful chemicals and is fabricated in a way that meets a high environmental standard.

Fabric feels like nothing, flattering style! Love them!

I'm not a 'running shorts' gal, but I love these. The fabric literally feels like you are wearing nothing, super lightweight, stretch, great movement. The cut is flattering even with 50+ year old legs. Have received many complements on the fun, lively pattern. Also have the bright yellow in case I get lost on the trails! :-) Size M is perfect. 5'5 and 130-133 lbs. I wouldn't mind 1 more inch on the length, but for shorter shorts, they are awesome! (note, I wear size S in the Groundwork tights, but M in these shorts)

Awesome, comfy, stylish, fast

Love these shorts. The waist is comfortable and snug, no slipping, which sometimes I have trouble with because I have small hips. The length is great for racing and warm temps, airy and mobile without feeling like you're bare. My new go-to running shorts for long, short, treadmill, trail, every run.

Fabulous Quick Dry Shorts

I used these shorts both for running, and a day long hiking adventure in South America! They are comfortable enough to wear all day and quick drying so even when I worked up a sweat during big climbs I didn't get any chaffing or generally feel gross. The zipper pocket on the back is great for holding small sets of keys and I didn't have to worry about them falling out. My first pair of Janji shorts and I will be getting more! Highly recommend!

Marathon approved

These shorts were awesome for the NYC marathon even though I personally was not awesome at the marathon. The shorts held up great in hot humid weather and never bothered me.
