Leader Marathon Shorts

If you ran track as a kid, the Leader Marathon Shorts might just be a spitting image of the shorts you wore on race day. Thankfully for us, Leader’s given ‘em a modern edit.

You’ve got an elastic waistband with a drawstring waist, so your fit is up to you. Naturally, this short should fall just at your waist. That classic track-short scalloped leg is still alive and well, but you’ve now got pockets in those curved contrast seams on each side. For the branding-averse, all you have branding-wise is a tiny logo on the left leg.

Nylon shorts like these are great for workouts that would otherwise leave less breathable shorts soaking wet: a long run on a hot day, that ass-kicking HIIT class, and so on. Alternatively, you’ve got a great short to wear over your swim briefs, around the house, or even out — gotta let those hamstrings breathe, after all.

• Mid-rise fit — sits just at your natural waistline
• Durable feel — no overstretching or pilling here
• Elastic waistband — drawstrings for adjustable waist
