Two running brands from opposite sides of the globe have joined forces, as Fractel and Acid Running collaborate to launch a limited-edition range of running caps.
An Australian running brand with a headwear focus, Fractel has tied-up with London-based running apparel brand Acid Running – resulting in two new designs of Fractel’s M-Series Cap.
Understated in design, contrasting to the vibrant colour spectrum seen across much of Fractel’s range, the new looks lean on cues from Acid Running’s minimalist aesthetic featured in its range of run shorts and tops.
Both brands source fabrics from BlueSign certified suppliers, with Fractel utilising 100% recycled fabrics in its caps and Acid Running prioritising recycled and natural fibres in all its garments.
British brand Acid also adds unique touches, with seed paper used in place of swing-tags which can be planted at home to grow wildflowers.
Acid Running co-founder Oliver Powe “Fractel x Acid Running may be a small step in terms of product range but the collaboration represents a much deeper connection between two like-minded brands with shared passions and values.
“Despite being a young brand, Fractel has already left a significant impact on runners worldwide. Together we hope to be ongoing companions to runners everywhere, supporting their journey and exploration of suffering.”
Fractel founder Matt Niutta added “Acid Running has tapped into something unique which really spoke to us at Fractel.
“From their approach, not shying away from the darker side of running whilst also prioritising sustainability, it made perfect sense for us to align as we look to promote uniqueness amongst the community. We can’t wait for this collab to come to life this month.”
