These shoes are all about comfort. The thick, soft cushion underfoot takes the pressure off on longer runs. Plus, the rocker-shaped sole helps you roll smoothly from heel to toe, making each stride feel easy and natural. The shoes also have a wider base that keeps you feeling stable and balanced along the way.

These shoes are made to help you move faster with less effort. The super bouncy foam at the midsole gives you an extra push with every step, while a stiff plate inside helps propel you forward. They’re lighter than previous versions of this shoe, feel soft and sock-like around your foot and have a grippy sole that keeps you steady on the road.

Built from ultralight, 4-way stretch woven fabric, these shorts move easily through runs and workouts. They have a breathable mesh liner and a stretchy waistband for comfort. These shorts also have a small front pocket to stash items like a key or cash while you run.

This fitted jacket is crafted from Lululemon’s signature buttery-soft Nulu fabric, which has a second-skin feel and four-way stretch for unrestricted movement. The silhouette is nipped in at the waist and it has a full front zip, stand collar and thumbholes, all of which can keep you warm on outdoor runs as temperatures drop.

Combining the compressive support of tights with the light, breathable feel of shorts, this 2-in-1 pant is built to keep you warm and comfortable in colder fall temperatures. Sleek zippered side pockets, an internal drawcord for a customized fit and a stretchy waistband round out a design in the most helpful way.

Made from tough nylon ripstop with a recycled poly mesh lining and durable hardware, this sleek pack keeps essentials close while out running. Versatile enough to wear at the waist or cross-body, it’s a low-profile option that can also be used for everyday errands.
