Cornelia | Women's Running Shorts
Cornelia* is Spiridon's first technical shorts . It is part of our new Anthology collection which weaves together the history of Spiridon and our vision of technical outdoor design.
100% Made in Europe (from the origin of the yarn to the manufacturing process, including knitting).
Made in part with the eco-friendly Italian Q- Nova® fiber ( recycled polyamide), the Cornelia running shorts stand out for their durable material and vintage look.
To create it, we developed a specific technical fabric in Spain (Barcelona), which explains its 12-month development period. It's durable , breathable , top-of-the-line quality, and optimizes moisture transfer . It also stands out for its style with its "piqué-grid" knit . This incredibly comfortable, supple, and lightweight fabric (150g for a size M short) has a dry yet bouncy feel, giving it an almost cottony, rare, and innovative look. The result: a unique, eco-friendly, and stylish Spiridon silhouette!
Cornelia pairs perfectly with the Summit tank top, the Anthology t-shirt and the Salvan long sleeve top .

Collection identity
On the left thigh, the "Road Runner" bird , designed in 1973 by Karel Matejovsky as a nod to Fred Lebow's New York Road Runners Club. Above, a broken line , like a departure from the track, to broaden horizons beyond the racing lanes and the sole objective of performance. A step aside, in the Spiridon spirit, to reconnect with nature and savor that unique feeling of freedom that running provides.

Cornelia* , in homage to Cornelia Bürki, the first middle-distance runner to wear Spiridon during official meets: a way to demonstrate support for Spiridon's values of including women in our sport. Elected sportswoman of the year in 1978, she still holds the Swiss record for the 2,000 meters at 5 minutes 35 seconds.
