“Wind Rises on Mountain Peaks, Clouds Surge Across the World”

Inspired by the Jinyiwei imperial guards, the design draws elements from golden‑armor dragon‑scale patterns. It symbolizes runners’ faith in pressing forward bravely in the face of the unknown, standing for fearlessness, protection and glory.

"Walk along mountains, advance with momentum"

Inspired by Tibetan‑land culture, with Gesang‑red as the main tone and Tibetan‑style patterns adopted. It symbolizes runners pressing forward persistently amid the vast mountains and wilderness, and they will eventually find their own rhythm and faith.

"Pierce through the Clouds, Dawn Breaks over Wilderness"

Inspired by Dunhuang flying‑Apsaras, dominated by Apsara‑blue hue and adorned with precious‑lotus patterns.

It enshrines the original aspiration of running for freedom within hopeful mountains. It is not about conquering peaks, but about encountering your trueself.
