Under Armour’s Unstoppable Collection is Fiercely Athletic

Remember back when Under Armour was known simply as a sports baselayer brand? It’s almost unbelievable now considering the brand’s latest technical athleisure line, the Unstoppable collection.

The crossover, work-to-workout and week-to-weekend selection is anchored by matching top and bottom sets that come together in a curated outfit emitting a cool, calm, and threateningly athletic vibe. In other words, I wouldn’t want to be challenged to a 50-yard sprint by someone wearing Unstoppable, and would imagine it’s what James Bond wears for a workout session.

Making use of black, white, and gray, the Unstoppable fabrics are highly technical, pulling from such innovations at Gore Windstopper — a total wind-protection weave — and performance-level cotton.

Pair the black and gray  half-zip with matching Gore Knit, tapered pant, or the white and navy sports-style full-zip with the printed joggers. Even better, mix up your prints and solids with the knit shorts, graphic T-shirts, or hoodies — and, of course, a pair of Windstopper pants (the jewel of the collection).

Unstoppable also includes female pieces — a crew, pullover, jogger, legging, fleece pant, and bralette — so share the athleisure love (she’ll want it more than new lingerie). In fact, throughout Under Armour’s 21 years of innovation, Unstoppable marks the first-ever co-gendered sport collection from the brand.

And it’s obvious that the athletic apparel company is seeking to do more than sell a new line. They’re slowly reinventing their image, simplifying and modernizing their designs with an eye toward fashion (buh-bye, bland baselayers). Of course, the athletic functionality will remain with intermittent boosts, like this collaboration with Gore.

Before you chalk this line off as just another sports-meets-street collection, take a closer look. What you’ll find is a quiet ferocity in both performance and style. And watch out, because it bites.

Overland is the king of ski towns: Celebrating 50 years of American mountain west outerwear
How did Overland win over the mountain town
Taos Storefront 2023

Every industry has its mainstay brands that only get stronger with more competition. There will always be some new and fresh idea that challenges all those before it and tries to change the industry. Then there are those brands they face, who have been around for decades, weaving in and out of competition and outlasting every challenge thrown their way. For every new and exciting watch brand, there is a Rolex standing strong. While there are plenty of explanations for why a brand outshines every other around it, Overland Sheepskin Co. has an explanation all its own. On this, their 50th year, we look back and try to understand how this family-owned business became the King of the Mountain towns and what keeps them on top.

Back in 1973, the flagship store in Taos, New Mexico, took a bale of sheepskin and a sewing machine and began creating coats, hats, and mittens for the surrounding area. As word began to spread about their quality, the whole family had to pitch in to help out to meet the growing demand. Five decades later, with 17 stores throughout the Rocky Mountains and across the country, they have become a mainstay in the mountain and ski towns for their quality and dependability. We got a chance to sit down with Monty Goodson, manager of the Santa Fe store and a buyer for the company, to find out how they did it and how they maintain the culture that has made them who they are today.
