Outperform Anywhere You Go- With Legends Apparel

This is what Legends were made for/of.

Have you ever stopped and asked yourself what a legend trains in when he or she hits the gym? What they wear, rep, and put on as they head to the arena? Have you ever wondered what a legend wears before they become a legend? Our crew thinks about this all the time and with brand like Legends, we think we are closer than ever to finding out.

Legends is an athlete-owned apparel brand based in Los Angeles, bringing streetwear inspired design to high performance athletic apparel. Legends is disrupting the athletic space with a limited release model that features weekly drops of limited edition colors, prints and styles that drive new trends and push the style envelope. Plus, with their roster of athlete investors who have made Legends one of the fastest growing brands in the category, it’s no question this apparel is making a name for itself.

Our crew wanted to try on some of the new drops offered by Legends, so we nabbed a few apparel options and took them out on the town for the ultimate duuude review.

INITAL IMPRESSIONS

When we first took a peek at the full lineup of Legends apparel on their website, we were drawn to the overall brand vibe, color/print options and fits and “looks” that go into each item they feature.

Legend’s website is simple: Find the part of your body you want to shower in legit apparel, grab your favorites in your size, and rep the brand true Legends wear.

Legend’s website featured apparel categories:

  • Tops

  • Bottoms

  • Accessories

  • Trending

  • Last Chance

Our crew decided to hit up their bottoms section and tried 2 of their staple pieces:

Luka Shorts + Aviation Joggers.


Luka Shorts:

Legends lightest, most breathable short. Great for speed training and cardio work, also a great lounging / all day short. Laser-perf ventilation, 4-way stretch, moisture wicking and anti-microbial technology are all packed into these shorts.

Aviation Jogger:

Legends first commuter pant, packed with performance DNA into an all-day, travel and office-ready jogger. Comfort highlighted by 4-way stretch, super soft fabrics, moisture wicking, and we’ve added water repellent technology to increase the durability and versatility of this pant.

Our initial duuude impression: So far some of the best fitting shorts and joggers featuring 4-way stretch

TRYING THEM OUT

Now that we got the apparel in mind to try, we wanted to test these Shorts and Joggers out for a real “walk-through.” Our crew tested and ranked these joggers on their overall Construction, Material Quality, and Feel/Wearability.

Construction 

The construction of all apparel from Legends is top notch. The Luka features anti-microbial and moisture wicking technologies for even more comfort. The waistband durability got an upgrade and feels like it was meant to hold the shorts in place where you want them. The inside features a lining similar to compression shorts, but it is not compression- which makes these extremely lightweight and flexible. The Aviation Joggers are a hybrid pant, featuring a soft-touch 4-way stretch woven fabric, a comfort waistband and a tapered modern fit.

  • Construction Rating: 9/10

Material Quality

Quality is key. When it comes to the material used in the shorts and joggers, the quality can be a difference maker. We’ve all had those joggers/shorts you washed once after wearing it and it shrunk a size after and never looked the same. Hate that. Not here- We wore them out for a morning run, then the Joggers were worn on an all day flight/drive/flight out of town and the quality of the material stood up to the gauntlet of travel up/downs. A straight gusset and rear knee panels enhance mobility in the Joggers, and the 4-pocket design maximizes functionality on the go.

  • Material Rating: 10/10

Feel/wearability 

The feeling is everything. If it doesn’t feel right- then it ain’t right. When it comes to comfort, we could not be more impressed. The feeling of the shorts is like wearing a cloud, are extremly light and flexible, just the perfect fit. We put them on- and did NOT want to take them off. Perfect for chilling on the couch, hitting a morning run, running errands, and even sleeping in. We would say these are some of the most comfortable lined shorts we have tested.

The joggers were just what we were looking for in a lightweight but durable feeling jogger. The hem lines are perfect (not too loose and not too tight), and the length goes right above the ankle so they allow those ankles some solid breathing room.

With regards to sizing, you can check Find My Fit offered by Legends to find the right size of pants or shorts to go with. Our crew for the most part are in the 6 foot tall range and typically wear a medium to large size in general.

  • Feel/Wearability Rating: 10/10

Our crew dug the joggers/shorts and would say they’re one of the more comfortable 4-way stretch apparel products we have ever tested.

STANDOUT FEATURES

What stands out to most does not always stand out to all- for us, some of the standout features that we found with Legends was:

  • The Joggers are not so long they bunch up at the bottom- which is refreshing to see

  • The breathable and anti-microbial/moisture wicking technology does more than just comfort your body folks!

  • We dug the slim fitting, sleek profile of the shorts and joggers- fitting any active lifestyle

  • The non-compression lining is one of the best linings in a pair of shorts we have tried on

  • Legends covers you from head to toe- and even your back (with a backpack)


BONUS FEATURES

As an added bonus, Legends offers a wide variety colors, styles, and fits for any and all active lifestyles. When we looked over their inventory we found an endless array of color options, fits, and vibes giving you ultimate control of your perfect apparel line for the day ahead!
