Louis | Men's Running Shorts

Louis* is the first Spiridon 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 making of the garment, including knitting).

Designed in part with there Q- Nova® ecological Italian fiber (made from recycled polyamide), the Louis shorts stand out because of their material durable and with a vintage look.

To create it, we developed a specific technical fabric in Spain (Barcelona), which explains its 12-month development process. It's durable , breathable , of premium quality, and optimizes moisture transfer . It also stands out for its style with its "piqué-grid" knit . This incredibly comfortable, supple, and lightweight fabric has a dry yet bouncy feel, giving it an almost cottony, rare, and innovative appearance. The result: a unique, eco-friendly, and stylish Spiridon silhouette!

Louis pairs perfectly with the Summit running tank top, the Anthology running t-shirt and Salvan long-sleeved running shirt .
