For all the griping we do about the rain in winter—and the heat once summer rolls around—there’s one thing Oregonians can collectively agree on: summer nights are where it’s at. Warm (but not sweltering), peaceful skies (barring wildfire smoke), and plenty of events and outdoor activities make it the ideal time to lace up and head out for a run.
Ciele seems to agree. Their new Summer Nights – Ciele Athletics is a seven-piece capsule inspired by those waning dayling hours, blending performance with art. The brand teamed up with Drew Tindell, a Portland-based artist known for his vibrant brushstroke work and collaborations with artists like Beck and Paramore. And yes—he’s also a former ultra runner, which makes this partnership feel like more than just surface-level style.
This collection takes Ciele’s staple performance items—like the GOCap and ORTShirt—and reimagines them through Tindell’s creative lens. Think bold black bases splashed with colorful, expressive brush strokes. It’s the kind of gear that feels just at home on city streets as it does at a post-run hangout.
The full lineup includes:
- GOCap and GOBucket
- ORTShirt
- ORTank Cropped
- QCKBra
- AT Shorts
Everything is designed with running in mind, but don’t be surprised if you start seeing these pieces at concerts, coffee shops, and wherever else summer nights take you.
Available now at Ciele Athletics, with prices starting at $40. Pieces are moving quickly, so don’t sleep on this one.
