We have been reviewing Janji items for a while now and they continue to impress us with their style and functionality. On top of that, we also love their take on the running world – that it’s a universal connector of people and that their apparel should strive to express that. Their most recent collection hails from designs from the French West Indies, which is “about the connection of Nature, Art, and Movement as powerful…

On top of that, we also love their take on the running world – that it’s a universal connector of people and that their apparel should strive to express that.

We have been reviewing and writing about Janji items for a few years now. We just love their unique take on the running world – that it’s a global connector and their items should express that. Their items are globally-inspired from the places all over the world and they feature a new locale each year. They use that location for inspiration, do a ton of research on the area and the running scene and team…
AFO-Vent Multi Short Over the past few years, I’ve been buying running gear from small specialty companies. I like supporting companies that are dedicated to the sport of running at all levels, and their unique designs, fabrics, and construction result in well-fitting gear that’s comfortable to run in. Janji fits this description to a T, and I love all the gear we’ve received from them. Running shorts with embedded long compression underneath and me don’t…
Every year, Janji has a collection of running pieces that showcase a different part of the world in the colors options, designs, and artistic creation. This year they are launching their Phillippines collection, which is described as such: Each Janji collection is informed by our adventures — our spring ’20 season takes cues from the archipelagic beauty of the Philippines. A neutral earth and sea palette is punctuated by bursts of near-electric colors and nature-inspired…
First things first – the look is awesome. It takes a simple-ish concept – hybrid half-zip/tech hoodie – and adds a splash of floral on the shoulder, back, hood, and on half of the chest. It’s just got a bit of flair on an otherwise simple brown top. The picture makes it look lighter than it actually is – I would describe it more as a tan. Nevertheless, it’s still a good looking color. I…
2019 is seeing the launch of Janji’s Cambodia collection, and the first item we tested is pretty dang sweet – the Orbital Singlet H2O Racer. By doing all the stuff listed above, it’s easy to see that Janji has a commitment to water. Running is probably the great worldwide unifying sport, where any developed, developing, or other country can compete and win. However, as we know, hydration is a necessity, and over 780 million people…
Now on to the 2-in-1 Pace Short. My kids gave me these for Christmas (that is, I bought them for myself, wrapped them, and told the kiddos it was their gift to me) and I’m impatiently waiting for the weather to warm up so I can wear them running outside. And at only $46, these shorts are affordable (maybe even affordable enough for your kids to get you for Mother’s Day!). I am about 5′ 8″…
This is being re-posted, because the Janji Collective is growing and open to new members! Click here to sign up. The original post published on November 15, 2018. Read on to find out why I recommend the Janji Collective: One of my favorites is the Runpaca long sleeve top. This long-sleeve is made of pima cotton with alpaca fleece, adding very little bulk but offering a soft layer that will keep you warm. The sleeves have…
This is a head-to-toe rundown of some of my favorite running gear items, along with what I like about them. I know no one item of gear will be universally loved, so keep in mind that I’m coming from the perspective of a 5′ 8″ woman carrying around 155 lb, who runs about 20-25 miles a week, mainly on road/paved path. If a particular item doesn’t trip your trigger, it may be worth it to…
