About the Duro Kinetic

The Duro Kinetic is a fusion of sacred symbolism and high performance design. Set against a rich oxblood crimson canvas, the print features an array of floating tribal hamsas, each one detailed with amber, forest green, and obsidian geometric linework, accentuated by traditional spiral and step motifs drawn from West African textile tradition. The scattered composition gives the print a sense of motion, as if the symbols are mid air, turning an ancestral symbol of protection into a contemporary statement piece.

The fabric is 91% GRS certified recycled polyester, meaning the material is made from reclaimed plastic, blended with 9% spandex for a four way stretch that moves with your body through every squat, sprint, or stretch. At 174 g/m², the microfiber is lightweight, breathable, and moisture wicking, with integrated UPF50+ protection for outdoor training. The 2.5" inseam sits high on the thigh for a leg lengthening, athletic silhouette, and the unlined interior allows for custom layering.
