Portable, fashionable, and deeply symbolic, this fanny pack is just what you need for your next adventure.

This piece comes from the Gbaoso Collection—"to run"—a line designed by Wealth Ndego and exclusive to Run Minnesota. The collection honors the strength, creativity, and unity of Minnesota’s running community.

This product includes the Gbaoso kola nut design. Native to West African regions, the kola nut (Cola Acuminata or Cola Nitida) is the seed of the kola fruit from the kola tree. While it holds cultural importance across many West African ethnic groups, in Igbo culture it is revered as “the king of all fruits” for its central role in social and religious traditions. In this collection, the kola nut is designed with four lobes (Oji ibe eno), also called Oji Udo na Ngozi — which translates to “kola nut of peace, harmony, and blessings.”
