New Balance introduces a new take on functional activewear with the launch of the RC Bra and Sleek Legging at its Canal Walk and Sandton City store. The launch welcomed a collective of women who spent the morning testing the new range through movement-focused activities and engaging with trainers, product specialists and the New Balance community.
Firsthand insight into how the pieces fit and respond to activity. The atmosphere carried that familiar end-of-year energy, where wellness, social connection and a desire for comfort intersect.
Designed Around Real Needs
What stands out with this collection is how it considers everyday life. The range sits comfortably between the needs of someone training consistently and someone who simply values staple pieces that feel supportive.
Whether worn for running, gym sessions, errands or remote-working days, the pieces remain adaptable, durable and comfortable.
The Sleek Legging
The Sleek Legging is fitted and high-waisted, offering structure without restriction. The 25-inch inseam creates a clean ankle length that works well with sneakers or casual footwear.
What makes the Sleek leggings a go-to for active wear:
- Four-way stretch
- Fast-drying fabric
- Internal infinity drawcord
- Reflective accents
- Hip-level drop-in storage pockets
The fabric feels light but secure, making it suitable for longer wear, whether that’s exercise-driven or part of everyday movement.
The RC Bra
The RC Bra is designed for full support, particularly useful for high-impact movement. Its construction focuses on stability and comfort, especially for those who experience movement-related bounce.
Key features include:
- Built-in supportive padding
- Moisture-moving channel structure
- Adjustable back closure
- Convertible straps
- Sizes ranging from A–G cup
The fit allows for ease of motion without needing to adjust straps or shift the band midway through activity.
A Gathering of Movement and Connection
The gathering at Canal Walk & Sandton City served as an informal wear-test and opportunity for guests to better understand the product, how it fits, stretches, responds to sweat and moves across different activity levels.
Discussions centred around fabric feel, support level and the practicality of the design.
For many, the most notable takeaway was that the pieces transition easily, from training to casual movement, without needing outfit changes.
Activewear That Works Beyond Training
There is a growing interest in clothing that can hold up during activity but still function throughout the day. This launch meets that shift. The range fits into routines where movement isn’t isolated, commuting, working, socialising, training, and resetting all overlap.
For women looking for reliable pieces that support long days, fast-paced errands, travel or structured training, this range lands at a relevant time.
The RC Bra and Sleek Legging are available online and in-store, offering a simple starting point for building an active wardrobe that prioritises ease and longevity.
