If you've spent any time soaking up the buzz of a big marathon recently, you’ll know that the lines between technical running gear and fashion are now so blurred they're basically irrelevant. Nobody knows this better than Satisfy – the Paris-based performance label that’s been quietly dominating the fashion-adjacent running scene for years. Its latest Off-Road collection, is a love letter to the trail. One built not just to look good on Instagram, but to actually crush the run.
The Off-Road collection expands on Satisfy’s core pieces with new colourways and graphic finishes across its staple silhouettes – cropped fringe muscle tees in strategically perforated MothTech™, featherweight AuraLite™ T-shirts, and that now-iconic FliteSilk™ running cap. But there are also two notable new arrivals: the AuraLite™ Pleated T-Shirt, and a pair of PowerSilk™ 9” Half Tights, designed specifically for longer, sweatier, sun-baked miles.
Yes pleats
A pleated tee might sound like something you’d wear under a blazer to a summer wedding, but here it’s pure utility: constructed from a recycled Japanese micro-jersey, the accordion-like surface lifts fabric away from skin to reduce friction, boost airflow, and wick away sweat with maximum efficiency. It’s also dyed with minerals to help neutralise odours.
The half-tights, meanwhile, are classic Satisfy: obsessive in their technical spec, understated in looks. Made from Italian power-stretch micro-nylon, they’re compressive where it counts and ventilated where it doesn’t, with two mesh pockets and a grooved finish that helps everything dry faster post-climb. UV protection and odour control come baked in.
As ever, the kit is designed not just to perform, but to last – and to look like something you'd still want to wear on the inevitable coffee stop afterwards. The campaign, shot in New Mexico’s Valley of Dreams, captures that dual spirit perfectly: all sun-bleached rock and wide open space, with just enough cultish weirdness to make you want to join the club.
