The best performing running gear:

Running gear refers to the full range of clothing and equipment that supports a comfortable and safe run. This includes specialised running shoes, technical running clothes that manage heat and moisture, and supportive socks. It also extends to running accessories, such as a lightweight running vest or a practical running belt.

Where runners once relied on basic sportswear taken from any gym drawer, the rise of running in the seventies created a clear demand for dedicated performance wear. Brands began developing lighter and faster drying fabrics that outperformed traditional cotton and offered greater comfort over longer distances.

Today urban running continues to grow and with it the need for more refined running clothes. Garments are engineered for specific conditions and movements. Jackets are built for targeted weather protection and running shoes are selected with precision based on surface and distance. Besides that, running gear is no longer viewed as purely functional. Many pieces now blend naturally into everyday style which connects to the broader shift toward athleisure.

Running gear at Baskèts:

At Baskèts, we curate a considered selection of high end running gear that blends performance innovation and modern aesthetics. The collection features some of the best running gear brands such as Oakley, Satisfy and On each bringing its own vision of what premium running gear can be.

Our approach goes beyond offering just running clothes, shoes and accessories in a simple category sense. We look for pieces that solve real needs on the move. Think of lightweight jackets that cut wind without adding weight. Shorts that stay secure through every stride. And sweat managing tees that remain comfortable long after the run is finished.

Footwear plays an equally important role with running shoes engineered for soft landings on concrete and stable transitions on different city surfaces. Even the small details matter, from compact belts that keep your phone in place to intuitive running vests designed for longer routes. Every item is selected with the urban runner in mind, someone who values technical precision but also wants gear that integrates naturally into a modern running outfit. In that balance of performance and everyday design.
