The verdict
A knitwear-leaning short, not a true performance running piece — treat it as a fashion basic that happens to be called 'running,' priced accordingly high.
Fit
Expect a closer, knit-based fit rather than a loose athletic running short; likely true to size given the rib knit's stretch.
Quality
As part of the brand's knitwear category, construction should be consistent with its other rib knit pieces, but this isn't built with running-specific performance fabric.
Is the price fair?
At $110, this is the priciest of the brand's rib knit shorts and premium-tier pricing for something without genuine running-performance features.
Best for
Shoppers who like the knit silhouette for casual or athleisure wear, not for actual running.
Care
Wash cold and lay flat to dry to keep the knit's stretch from breaking down.
