Gbaoso Run the Mile You're In Embroidered Men's fleece shorts

Elevate your everyday wear with these Men's Shorts featuring the motivating phrase "Run the Mile You’re In" embroidered in bold red. Ideal for active days, relaxed evenings, or casual outings, these shorts combine style, comfort, and purpose to inspire you to stay focused and live in the moment.

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.”

This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. As a smaller nonprofit, we make products on demand instead of in bulk to provide more options and prevent the waste of overproduction. Thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
