Staff Pick of the Month: Michael from Lincoln Square

We’re excited to kick off a new monthly series where we highlight an Outfitter’s favorite gear from one of our nine locations — because our Outfitters are runners, too. Each month, an outfitter from a different store will share the pieces they’re loving right now. To start things off, Michael from our Lincoln Square location is sharing his current favorites.

Shoe Pick: ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28

" I love the recent update to ASICS's premium daily trainer! It's lighter and more responsive than version 27, but it still has the plush comfort I expect from a Nimbus in both the midsole and the upper. It's a shoe that makes me feel like I could run forever, with bonus points for being the most versatile version of this shoe to date!"

Apparel Pick: Janji Rover Merino Hoodie

"This super comfy, stretchy hoodie is warm enough to work as an outer layer when it's chilly and slim enough to layer well when it's really cold. The hood is form-fitting and won't get blown back when you're running, and it has a little extra material at the collar that acts as a gaiter. It also has reinforced thumb holes and a small key pocket."

Accessory Pick: Smartwool Active Wind Glove

"This glove has kept me warm and comfortable on runs this winter down to 2 degrees. The grippy material on the palm and fingers makes it great for driving when your steering wheel is ice cold, and it's smartphone compatible as well. And for even more cold protection, it comes in a version with a stowable mitten!"
