The Marathon Shorts (Samurai Blue)

A return to traditional performance running. The Samurai Blue Marathon Shorts draw from the clean, functional language of Japanese athletic wear, where simplicity, movement and purpose take precedence. Finished in a rich royal blue, the color nods to Japan’s enduring Samurai Blue sporting identity while keeping the silhouette distinctly HBN Sport*.

Crafted from a lightweight, breathable performance fabric, the shorts are designed to move freely through runs, training and everyday wear. The airy construction provides ventilation, while two side zip pockets and a concealed back zip pocket offer secure storage without unnecessary bulk. Finished with a silicone-printed HBN Sport* graphic for a minimal technical finish.

SIZE GUIDE

All measurements are in centimetres (cm) and refer to the garment, not body measurements. The same size chart applies to men and women.

Choosing your size

For the most accurate fit, compare these measurements with a pair of shorts that fits you well. Lay them flat and measure the waistband from side to side without stretching it.

Men: Compare the waistband, rise and length with your preferred shorts. If you are between sizes and prefer extra room through the seat and thighs, choose the larger size.

Women: Compare the waistband and check room through the hips and thighs. Consider where you prefer the waistband to sit. If you are between sizes, choose the larger size for a roomier fit, while checking that the waistband will fit comfortably.

Length and coverage

The inseam is 7.8 cm across all sizes. The overall length increases with size, from 31 cm in XS to 36 cm in XL.
