Another week of Britt’s picks is up, you can find the original thread here.
[Side note: I know this is coming to you a bit later than usual and in general things have been spottier than usual the past couple days. I’m stricken by a Terrible Awful Plague and am trying to take advantage of the few moments I have where sitting up and using my brain at the same time doesn’t make me wish for death.]
Some new running stuff coming, including the light speed tight. I see you, double entendre. These look a lot like inspire tights with an accent down the side instead.
(I know some of these pics are a bit pixelated. They’re that way in the originals. :\)
The light speed vest looks like the patterned thing from the spring sneak peek video. The pattern isn’t clear here since the image is so low res. Looks like the mesh with me tank will also be coming in sea mist.
The pace pusher 1/2 zip was uploaded in Australia this week–the color pictured is heathered harbor blue. The black cherry 105F singlet is new too–very pretty in this color. There seem to be more and more 105F’s with a space dye texture like this.
More things coming that were spotted overseas: the crew love pullover popped up this week, and the on the daily hoodie appeared last week. The high neck looks extra warm on the hoodie.
Some staples were redesigned for spring: both the groove and skinny groove got a literal lift with the addition of a higher waist. I wonder if that means they’ll be $10 more expensive, like the rolldown WUs. Not sure if you’ll actually be able to roll these down like the WUs or if they’re more of a “fixed” high rise like the high times. The grooves are also noted to have a slightly different silhouette. The flare was toned down a bit, which is a good move since a dramatic flare is getting a bit dated. The knee was also relaxed significantly. They kind of look like the leg of astro pants now.
Speaking of high rises, the high times pants in block party (seen in stores the other day) are uploading to Canada. Wondering if this fabric will look cheap in real life. Also, the anticipated moody mirage WUC are finally uploading, but US only for now.
Ooh….curious to see how the new Grooves fit!

I’m curious too! I’m not much of a high rise person so I’m not convinced I’ll like them, but I’m curious how the newly designed leg opening looks on.
I’m interested in the light speed tight. I just bought the heathered naval blue inspire tights, but may return those in favor of these. We’ll see what colors these new tights come in.
Totally not feeling the moody mirage WUC. I feel like they make the model look bigger than she is.
Lastly, feel better AA!
Yeah, I think lighter prints like that tend not to be very slimming. It IS a cute print, though…
Yes, rest up AA. It is no fun having the TA Plague!
I napped for like 6 hours on Saturday–drugs knocked me out cold, but I think all that sleep fixed me right up, heh. :)
Haha did NOT get the light speed thing until you mentioned it. They look so cute but grrrrr I just bought the heathered slate Speed Tights on WMTM!
What!? They were on WMTM? I missed it (though actually bought heathered slate full price…curious what other prints in the speed tights I missed marked down.)
They’re still available on the Canadian side!
I don’t think I’ve seen any on the US side yet.
Ahhh, that’s too bad! Maybe they’ll do the light speeds in a non-neutral…
Wishing you a spending recovery. You are dead on with the high times block party looking ( and feeling cheap). I initially saw them on britts picks and thought I had to have them, saw them in store today and didn’t even bother taking them off the hanger or to try on, looked at them, felt them and it was such an immediate easy pass, they are terrible quality, not at all near decent. Very disappointing.
Good to know. I thought they were really cute in the pic.
Ahh that’s too bad. The shiny fabric seems to be hard to pull off in general without major cheap vibes. And thanks for the well-wishes, I’m all better now thank goodness! :)
*speedy! Not spending lol ;)
Get well soon! :D
Thanks! It got worse at the end, so I was afraid for a little while it wouldn’t ever go away, but fortunately it seems to have finally passed. Glad to get back to my life…
Really like heathered black cherry! Feel better!
Yup, I think the color is dark enough that it doesn’t look washed out when heathered like this.
