Second week of SS26 worldwide launch brought together running communities in Avignon, Seoul and Singapore. Thank you all for your energy, and sharing this moment of connection with us 🩶

Berlin — Milan Connection.
We met Verena and Matteo over a year ago, and they’ve since become close friends of OR — so it felt only natural to share a run in Milan. Running keeps things close, wherever we meet.

Different cities, same intention — connection in motion. Thank you to everyone who showed up and made it what it was.

Next Stops: France, Singapore, South Korea, Indonesia and Australia.

The mechanics of connection.
When form and function meet at the exact point of tension, the bond is locked.

Worldwide SS26 Launch | Social Runs

To mark the launch of the SS26 collection, we’ve co-created a series of social runs with our partners, bringing the global OR community together.

At the heart of SS26 lies the idea of connection. In a time when togetherness must be intentionally created, we position running not as an escape, but as an encounter, with others and with ourselves. Through this collaborative launch, we bring this idea into real space: a series of community runs hosted across different cities, creating shared moments that dissolve distance, geographic and cultural, and turn movement into a common language.

Check the schedule and join your local run.
All details and participation info can be found on our partners’ channels.
