4T2.run

imagine waking up every morning for 55 days and start with running. not a race, not for a medal. just the road ahead, and a reason beyond your love for running.

anthony is a long-time friend of 4T2, an ultra runner and certified running therapist. so anthony litteraly made a job out of his passion for running.

he just ran 6,500 kilometres from senegal to germany. two continents. seven countries. desert, highway, heat. a team of 4 runners through africa and 2 through europe.

along the way, strangers stopped their cars in 40-degree heat just to support him with water. children ran with him. an ambassador ran with him. 1,500 people were waiting in a stadium on the final day, having spent hours running laps for his cause. it was all for the sternenlichter children’s and youth hospice in göttingen and the elhadj diouf foundation.

anthony ran the entire journey on sayonara (customized) and sundays.

meet anouche & tom.

friends of 4T2 and the kind of people who make everything more interesting.

they roast coffee, make films, bike across mountain ranges and run trails. most recently they crossed the pamir mountains by bike and turned it into a film that’s now doing the rounds at adventure festivals. their next one will probably involve running shoes.

somewhere in between all of that, they run. a lot. anouche won the trail du moucherotte this year. this summer they’re both lining up for the MCC at UTMB. but races are only a small part of the story.

it’s really about the early mornings before work. the long days in belledonne or chartreuse with friends. the spontaneous outings when you should probably be doing something else. the moments where nobody is really looking at their watch and nobody really cares.
not chasing performance. chasing experiences. the kind you’ll still be talking about years later.

“running isn’t always beautiful. sometimes you’re soaked, tired, cold, lost, underprepared or wondering why you signed up in the first place. and somehow those are often the days you remember the most.”

on the road. with the goal to be ‘gone running’.

it’s not filosophical, it’s not psychological, it’s just about running and being together. and while we’re roadtripping, the work continues. whether it is in the back of the van or on the ferry, our customer service never stops, nor does our desire to do an extra lap or an extra mile.

this material is from our latest trip to manchester, uk. with thanks and hugs from the team and friends of 4T2.

companio baker’s dozen #3 is in the books.
a strange combination of running, coffee, pastries, running again and a baguette medal. this could have only come from the creative mind of who actually makes it all seem perfectly logical. together with about a 100 mancunians we ran the 2-lap 13 mile social run, with a refuel sesssion in the middle, powered by Oatly, WILDFARMED and Allpress Espresso UK but above all the most amazing pastries from . with them bellies full the second lap was like a breeze and we sprint finished to the legendary baguette medal ceremony led by none other than tom and the man himself, mister pink .neil . thanks to everyone showing up, enjoying the sunday social long run together and hanging out a bit more at our friends from Track Brewing Co in the day.

we’re packing up to join in on the 3d edition of ‘baker’s dozen’ in manchester this weekend. makes us think about berlin earlier this year where we ran an easy ‘casual’ half marathon while eating the most amazing pastries from

we’ll do it all over again this sunday and will be guided by the legendary and singing mathilde. for those joining, we’l be having our full test set available for try ons.

hugs from the team.

sayonara, rolling stone. ‘sayonara’ is farewell in japanese and it has a kind of sad vibe to it. it’s like saying goodbye, forever. we know that ultra trails feel something like that. saying goodbye, being gone running for a long time and not sure if you meet each other again at aid stations or at the finishline.

and during those long runs we sometimes mix up reality and fiction. while moving on, you get lost in your head. hallucinations happen.

it’s what inspired us for this version of sayonara. ‘rolling stone’ is an obvious reference to bob dylan’s song and we went a little overboard with the visuals, inspired by the last time we did the rorschach test.

sayonara, rolling stone. available now.

the making of. here’s some random moments in the process of becoming ‘one more’.

we don’t like design for design. we like to design for function and then have some fun.

next to working with some friends of the brand, we do test our prototypes in all shapes and forms.

the model is not a model. they are real people who run and most often they are friends.

though we strive for perfection, we know we’ll never get there. still we try. with every production run there is something to improve.

while we work on what’s next, we also work on what is beyond the horizon...

shoots are often a mix of a plan, luck and coincidence. not too much thinking.

it’s that simple and sounds easy but is pretty difficult.

we love independent retailers because they are cute, funky, exotic and kind of....

independent.

in a sea of sameness there’s these exceptional absolute gems like FML ‘flat mountain living’ in berlin. this running boutique, created by Mubeen September and friend of 4T2, is one of those stores you must take a detour for.

mubeen is bringing south african vibes to a funky berlin neighborhood and he carries 4T2 as one of his selected brands. drop by.
