Sexy mesh, oversized logos, and varsity style are combined for a cool mix of gym gone glam. A sophisticated palette of black, white, grays, and neutrals are offset with the addition cobalt in the mix. Compression fits, seemless support, and wicking fabrics accentuate the comfort and performance focus of the line. The number 4 plays throughout — the date of Beyoncé, her mother, and her husband’s Jay-Z’s birthdays, as well as the couple’s wedding anniversary.

Continuing with our Spring Training, we’re taking it to the streets — or treadmill if that’s your preference — with this collection of the season’s hot running shoes. There’s nothing simpler than lacing up your sneakers and going out for a run, and we’ve got kicks ready to go the distance with you. Cushioned, supportive, responsive, and of course, stylish too, these are 10 of our favorite running shoes, for both men and women, guaranteed to put a little extra pep in your step!

Offering superior comfort in a performance running shoe, the contour and shape of the midsole has been designed for a smooth flow from touchdown to takeoff, with specially designed grooves on the outsole for added flexibility under foot. On the inside, an Ortholite® sockliner, breathable mesh upper, and interior bootie-fit system supports the foot in luxurious comfort.

HOKA ONE ONE TRACER $130. Lower to the ground than the other ultra cushioned shoes in the Hoka One One line up, the Tracer is a lightweight training shoe perfect for race days too. Featuring Hoka’s distinctive heel-toe offset and rocker, with cushioning in the heel and responsiveness in the forefoot, the Tracer is a neutral performance running shoe, well suited for uptempo training and racing.

SAUCONY HURRICANE ISO 2 $160.

Martone Cycling Goes Hollywood

 

MARTONE CYCLING CO. LA POP-UP

Opening today in West Hollywood, CA. is the first Martone Cycling Co. pop-up shop. Along with the chic and playful Martone bicycles, the shop will be carrying a myriad of athletic and “athleisure” brands, plus sporty accessories, curated by us here at Style of Sport! Some of our favorite brands like Onzie, Tracksmith, Alala, MPG Sport, and Vuarnet (the iconic sunglass brand recently relaunched in the US!) will be featured in the store.

Designed in New York City, the brightly colored monochromatic Martone bicycles are as rugged as they are fashionable. Composed of steel alloy and aluminum, with puncture resistant tires to take on city streets, the bikes weigh in at a mere 26 pounds with the basket. The brand’s main differentiator in functionality is the “MCC Duomatic,” an innovative SRAM 2 speed gear system that shifts gears automatically depending on slope and speed. MCC is the only bicycle brand to employ this technology in the United States, letting the rider glide smoothly, and of course, in style!

Located at 8366 ½ W. 3rd Street (between Orlando and Sweetzer) in West Hollywood, the pop-up will be open throughout the month of April. Produced in conjunction with Liberty Fairs, the shop will offer Angelenos a unique peek into the world of Martone Cycling, with bicycles, activewear and accessories made for the LA lifestyle.

Spring training is ON! Summer is looming just around the corner and clothes are coming off. We all need a little motivation to get the body beach ready and there’s nothing like some fun new gear to get you going. Biking, running, swimming, paddling or training at the gym, here are a few of our favorite new styles, toys, and accessories guaranteed to pump up any workout!

LEFT COLUMN: ATHLETA COLORBLOCK HOODIE SUNTOP $79. Paddle, run, or train on the beach in this graphic cover up made for all your favorite water sports. It’s breathable, stretchy, and UPF 50, with an adjustable drawstring hood, half-zip front, and dropped armholes to show a peek of your bikini or sport bra underneath. RAPHA SOUPLESSE MITTS $75. Sometimes it’s the little things, and a new pair of gloves can be just the item to get you back on the bike — especially these women’s-specific beauties from Rapha. Available in four chic color combos, they’re made from a lightweight, high-wicking fabric and designed for comfort, grip and protection on warm weather rides. TREK 7.4 FX $769.99. As you may have noticed one of our favorite colors is orange, and we’re obsessed with this Trek! Lightweight and agile, the Trek 7.4 FX offers the speed of a road bike with the comfort of a city bike — perfect for fitness, commuting, or just zipping around.

CENTER COLUMN: ASSOS ZEGHO AMPLIFY SUNGLASSES $439. Looking as much like fashion opticals as sport shades, these flashy bike sunglasses are as equally dedicated to technical performance as style. Yes, they have a hefty price tag, but Assos partnered with Carl Zeiss Optics to create the ultimate lightweight, durable, one-piece lens with zero optical distortion — even at its curviest parts. The Zeiss lens spans and contours the face for a full 180 degree field of view, and a unique tinting gradient called “Tunnel Vision” provides optimal vision in changing light conditions. The Zeiss coating that hardens the lens is also anti-smudge, anti-static, hydrophobic and oleophobic for the ultimate protection on the road. ADIDAS PUREBOOST X WOMENS RUNNING SHOES $120. The newest entry into the very popular BOOST category from Adidas is the PureBOOST X that features the first ever floating arch. While most running shoes are adaptations of male shoes, the contours of the female foot inspired its design, and the high performance PureBOOST X was created purely with the female athlete in mind. The adaptive stretch mesh wraps underneath the midfoot to hug and support the foot throughout the run, while the BOOST midsole unleashes powerful energy and responsive cushioning. TANGRAM FACTORY SMART ROPE $79.98.  Jumping rope goes high tech with this LED embedded jump rope that displays your fitness data midair while you work out. 2 sets of ball bearings in each handle create a smooth movement, while magnetic sensors track jumps. With the Smart Rope app, “Smart Gym”, you can also track calories burned, interval training, time elapsed, and other fitness data. Click here to see how it works.

RIGHT COLUMN: ULTRACOR LEVEL PERFORATED CROP TOP $117. This sportbra is definitely worth taking your shirt off! Its quick drying and moisture wicking stretch fabric is perforated at the front and back for ventilation with chic sporty style. TORY SPORT SPLASH LEGGINGS $150. Add a high-energy burst of color to your workout with these Splash leggings. Engineered with the highest-quality Tactel® nylon fiber for performance, they’re super soft, lightweight, and stretchy for comfort. Check Tory Sport stores for availability. SPEEDO COLORBLOCK VEE CUT $69. Lap swimming can be dull, but not in this sexy cut out swimsuit! Speedo Endurance Lite resists the dragging, sagging, and bagging for better workouts and more fun in the pool.
