If I had to pick one style of print to wear for the rest of my life, it would be floral. I’m not entirely sure why, but even as a guy, I’m drawn to the calmness and earthiness of floral designs—and the bright, fun, and unique colors that often come with them. My only tattoo even features a Canadian Maple Leaf surrounded by three tulips. What can I say? I’m here for it.
So when I learned that The North Face’s new Summit Series Trail Running Kit was called Flora Alpina, I was beyond pumped. This collection isn’t just about looking good—it’s designed to help trail runners not only withstand the elements but thrive in them. The prints feature a curated mix of indigenous flowers that have adapted and evolved at high elevations for over a millennium. Obviously, I love this.
The Flora Alpina Collection includes:
- Summit Superior Futurelight Jacket
- Summit High Trail Short Sleeve
- Summit Pacesetter Shorts (3” Women’s, 5” Men’s)
- Summit Run Vest 10L
- Summer LT Run Hat
- Base Sun Sleeve
I mean…those shorts are calling my name.
Even better, the collection also features one of our top trail running shoes of the year—the Vectiv Enduris 4. It’s a gorgeous visual refresh on an already ridiculously comfortable shoe.
From head to toe, Flora Alpina packs the technology for runners who want to hit the trail at sunrise and keep going into the night—pushing boundaries and reaching new limits.
