As an ambassador for INKnBURN, I’ve been given the opportunity to help share this great company with all my readers. I was first introduced to INKnBURN when a bunch of running friends started wearing their clothes. It’s hard to miss their bold images and colorful designs on the trails. These aren’t your average running clothes with a simple INKnBURN logo, each item has its own unique design, from colorful pictures of dragons to peacock features to denim workout clothes (pictured above), no item is the same!

From the website:

“INKnBURN designs, cuts and sews all our athletic gear to create the ultimate in workout clothes. The fabrics we use are moisture wicking, light and they breathe — helping you stay comfortable as you achieve your peak performance. Our proprietary technique for getting art on our apparel creates vivid and powerful designs that you can’t feel, and that do not compromise the performance of the fabric. Our technical running shirts are great for cross-country races, marathons, ultras or trail-running. They also just feel great to lounge around in after a tough training session or race. We want to empower you to do your best, and our designs are all about personal strength and performance. Don’t disappear into the crowd… Distance yourself with INKnBURN and the Art of Running.”

What I love most about their clothing is how functional they are. Not only are they super comfortable, each item is designed with the athlete in mind. For example, the shorts have two little front pocket holes perfect for a GU or your keys. The shorts don’t ride up and are the perfect length without feeling bulky. They are lightweight and moisture wicking, I’ve run in them for 8+ hours without any chaffing or problems at San Diego 50. Same goes for the tank tops, each top has a small pocket built in front of the shirt, making it easy to grab a GU without having to unzip a back pocket or take it out of your hydration pack.

One of my favorite shorts (as in, if I could wear it everyday I would) is the denims. I’ve worn it to practically every race and I swear they make you run faster. There hasn’t been a single instance where I’ve worn them and haven’t gotten a compliment or comment about them. Not only are they eye-catching, they are so comfortable just like their other shorts and matches with practically every top I own, even the red denim tank InknBurn tank top.
