Inspired by their respective journeys into running and meditation, friends and founders Tom Daly and Max Vallot launched District Vision in 2015 to fill a gap in aesthetics and athletics. They started out innovating eyewear, handmade in Japan with specifically engineered lenses for the purpose of reducing strain on the eye caused by physical exertion. The once Acne Studios and Saint Laurent-based pair now utilise their experience and expertise to create capsule running apparel collections.
