Handcrafted by a runner!
These bracelets were made by Simon Ngumbau who is a Kenyan runner working to become the best runner he can be! Simon reached out to us a few months ago and asked if there was a way he could join our community. With distance being an obvious barrier we put our heads together. One issue that many up and coming Kenyan runners face is finding a balance between the need for training and earning and income to support themselves during their journey. Being an entrepreneurial spirit himself, Simon suggested that he use his recovery time to make some custom beaded bracelets for us. We thought this was a great idea and agreed to sell them in the store.
All proceeds from these bracelets go back to Simon to support his running journey.
There are 2 sizes. Small is 6.5" and Medium is 7". The vast majority of people will be able to wear a medium comfortably.
A randomized control trial conducted by Wolfpack University consisting of 5 runners proved that wearing a beaded Kenyan bracelet during activity improved running efficiency by 10%. Will be interesting to see how many runners in Tokyo will wear these (and how many they will wear).
Love it! Haven’t taken if off since I bought it
