Acid Running is a premium running apparel brand launched in London in 2022 by Oliver Powe, who previously ran The Active Kollection, a retailer specialising in fashion-led running and cycling labels. The brand grew out of a frustration with how the running industry marketed perfection, and set out to make clothing truer to the sport itself — the grind, the solitude and the persistence that long-term running demands.

That outlook shapes everything the brand produces. Collection titles such as ‘Voluntary Discomfort’ and ‘The Pursuit of Suffering’ signal a stoic approach: nothing worthwhile in running comes without some hardship, and the clothing is made for runners who recognise that rather than pretend it away.

In practice, that means muted, cold colour palettes, relaxed silhouettes that step away from the compression-fit norm, and performance fabrics blending natural and recycled fibres — fast-drying, sweat-wicking and naturally odour resistant. The result sits between serious running kit and luxury streetwear, which is why the pieces work as well on rest days as they do on tempo runs.

The Yards Store selection covers the core of the range: graphic race tanks and logo T-shirts, hybrid and 2-in-1 shorts, a long sleeve tee for cooler sessions and a lightweight running jacket for wind and drizzle. If you are new to the brand, the 2-in-1 shorts and race tanks are the signature pieces — start there.

Acid Running FAQs

Acid Running is known for premium running clothing with a distinctive outlook. Launched in London in 2022, the brand pairs muted colours and relaxed fits with a stoic philosophy summed up by collection names such as Voluntary Discomfort. It sits between performance running kit and luxury streetwear.
Acid Running was founded by Oliver Powe and is based in London. Powe previously ran The Active Kollection, a retailer of design-led running and cycling brands, and launched Acid Running after concluding the market offered little for runners wanting performance clothing with a stronger design identity.
Our current menswear selection includes race tanks, logo T-shirts, a long sleeve tee, graphic hybrid shorts, 2-in-1 shorts and a lightweight running jacket. It is a focused edit covering warm-weather training through to cooler and wetter sessions.
Acid Running uses performance fabrics that blend natural and recycled fibres, chosen to dry quickly, wick sweat and resist odour naturally. Cuts are deliberately more relaxed than compression-style running kit, so the pieces are comfortable before and after a run as well as during one.
Yes. Yards Store is an official UK stockist of Acid Running, with the range available online and in our Manchester and Sheffield shops. The brand sells mainly through its own site and a small number of selected retailers.
