Performance running brand Ciele Athletics has introduced the KM Capsule, a limited-edition race-day-ready collection developed in collaboration with longtime Ciele Athletics FAM and elite athlete Kim Hyacinthe.
Inspired by Hyacinthe’s unrelenting persistence in overcoming challenges in her race to the world stage, the Ciele Athletics capsule embodies the determination and perseverance required to break through personal barriers, mile after mile.
The KM Capsule includes three performance-driven products: the RDCRPSinglet, BCHat and RPDVisor. The RDCRPSinglet is a cropped singlet engineered for speed. It’s designed with minimal weight, fabric and seams, utilizing Ciele’s breathable COOLmatic | EXP™ carbon-embedded fabric to deliver a nearly weightless race-day-ready piece with advanced wicking, breathability and temperature regulation. A favorite of Hyacinthe’s, the BCHat is intentionally designed for weight reduction, featuring QALE print accents under the brim, a laser-etched pattern to enhance ventilation and a COOLmatic | PLUS™ headband for optimal cooling and wicking. Completing the assortment, the RPDVisor is built with COOLmatic | PLUS™ fabric, providing essential sun protection and cooling properties during extended training sessions, and features the quick-adjust (QA) toggle for size adjustments on the fly.
Hyacinthe reflects, “I’ve been connected with Ciele since their humble beginnings, and seeing the brand evolve and grow has been nothing short of amazing. Since first meeting with Ciele, I told them I was in this for the long run and would love to eventually collaborate on a project. It’s finally happening! As an amateur athlete, I’ve learned that when you find people who care about you as a person and not only your performance, you keep them close. This foundation made the collaboration seamless, and I hope that comes through in the KM Capsule.”
The KM Capsule is available to purchase at espace | MTL, the Montreal flagship store, on cieleathletics.com and at select retailers worldwide.
