Allyson Felix’s routine completely changed after the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo was postponed, but she manages to keep herself busy. In addition to staying committed to her training, the Olympic sprinter also designed her first Athleta collection.
Felix spent years dreaming of designing her own activewear collection and she found the perfect partner in crime in Athleta. She had a clear vision for her first line and she wanted to design highly functional performance wear that looks as good as it feels.
“I know firsthand that when you feel good, you perform and play better. These pieces had to be able to perform at the highest level – to be able to move with my body without any distractions. They also needed to exude my own personal style and make me feel beautiful,” said the Olympic champion in a statement.
Athleta’s limited edition collection with the decorated athlete dropped on their official website on August 18th. In addition to featuring all our favorite gym essentials, such as leggings and sports bras, it comes with several track-specific pieces perfect for runners. Felix even designed several products for the Athleta Girl line, aimed at her youngest fans.
