These African print women's athletic shorts by ASAKE-OGE are a recycled performance short featuring a bold solar mandala Ankara-inspired print on 91% GRS-certified recycled polyester and 9% spandex four-way stretch microfiber, with UPF50+ protection, moisture-wicking quick-dry technology, a 2.5" inseam, reinforced elastic waistband with flat white drawstring, and internal mesh side pockets, available in sizes XS through 3XL at $73.50.
About the Rekiana Solar
The Rekiana Solar is an explosive celebration of optical vitality. The print is anchored by a vibrant vermilion red base, textured with a fine stippled obsidian gradient, and overlaid by majestic radial mandalas in solar gold and cream with deep amethyst centers. The repeating solar discs create a mesmerising optical effect that mimics the pulsating energy of a high-intensity workout: a sartorial sunburst that commands attention through complex geometry and a fearless colour story rooted in African Ankara wax print tradition.
The fabric is 91% GRS-certified recycled polyester blended with 9% spandex for a four-way stretch that moves with your body through every sprint, squat, or Pilates session. At 174 g/m², the microfiber is breathable, moisture-wicking, and fast-drying, with integrated UPF50+ sun protection for outdoor training. The 2.5" inseam sits at mid-thigh, projecting a leg-lengthening athletic silhouette, while the unlined interior allows for custom layering. The reinforced elastic waistband is engineered to sit securely at the natural waistline without rolling down during high-impact movement.
