“I never imagined that we would be able to create long shorts for everyone!” said Courtney, excited to share this clothing option with the whole world of female runners. “Growing up, I always preferred long shorts because I was more comfortable in them. Comfort is key and I know there will be many people who are thrilled to have a lightweight, long-inseam option to run in.”

The oversized technical trail shorts and technical T-shirt inspired by Dauwalter combine ultra-comfort and lightness for long-distance runners looking to push their limits like Courtney… but maybe not quite to that level.

I never imagined that we would be able to create long shorts for everyone!

“Courtney has her own style and it’s all based on comfort and performance, which is what we aim to deliver in our S/LAB apparel products,” says Marthe Magis, Salomon’s Product Line Manager for Running Apparel. “We heard the call from trail runners and Courtney's fans to make her signature Shortney shorts and the Shortney T-shirt available to all women runners. After some collaborative work with Courtney and our Service-to-Athletes design team, we’re excited to make the shorts and shirt a reality for the spring ’23 range.”   

The Shortney shorts have a 26.5cm (10.23-inch) inseam and feature ultra-soft, lightweight stretch fabrics that dry quickly and keep you feeling comfy over any distance, even very long ones. The oversized design and lightweight, four-way stretch fabric are supported by elastic yarns to liberate your movements for an irresistible feeling of freedom. AdvancedSkin technical fabrics improve body comfort by keeping you dry, warm and protected when you need it and where you need it. The 37.5® Technology material optimizes your body's microclimate to maintain an ideal core temperature, so you perform better, longer. It also dries five times faster than similar fabrics.

I don't know if there are plans to add a winter collection to the line, but I am ready with plenty of ideas if that happens!

Sourced in Europe, the oversized, technical Shortney T-Shirt features an ultra-light natural blend for comfort and breathability. Merrow seams minimize friction, and the oversized fit liberates your movements. The 37.5® Technology material optimizes your body's microclimate to maintain an ideal core temperature and dries five times faster than similar fabrics. Merino mesh wool inserts under the arms make the garment more breathable and help manage moisture and odors.

The Shortneys are part of Courtney’s summer version outfit. In winter, she runs in shorts whenever possible and the Shortneys are perfect for that! “I don't know if there are plans to add a winter collection to the line, but I am ready with plenty of ideas if that happens!”

Dear fans, stay tuned and we will see if it will be possible to give in to Courtney’s imagination… In the meantime, don't miss out on this special running outfit!
