Every A.L. Edition hat sold directly benefits Abdulla Lutfi through our artist partnership program. He receives a significant percentage of each sale as royalties for his artwork, providing sustainable income that recognizes his talent and contribution. Beyond financial support, this collaboration gives Abdulla a global platform - his art travels with runners from Dubai to marathons worldwide. We also feature Abdulla's story across our marketing channels, helping build his reputation as a professional artist. This isn't charity; it's a business partnership that values his work at market rates and treats him as the talented artist he is.

Abdulla's Dubai skyline is a love letter to his city rendered in intricate black line art. The design features iconic landmarks like Burj Khalifa and Burj Al Arab, but what makes it special are Abdulla's unique additions - planes flying overhead spelling "I Love Dubai," playful drones scattered throughout the sky, and small details that only someone who truly knows and loves the city would include. The artwork wraps around the hat's white panels, creating a 360-degree story of Dubai. Each element is hand-drawn with remarkable precision, showcasing not just artistic skill but a deep connection to place. It's Dubai seen through the eyes of someone who experiences it differently.

Yes, the A.L. Edition is genuinely limited. We've committed to a specific production run to maintain exclusivity and ensure each hat remains special. Once sold out, we won't reproduce this exact design - it's Abdulla's artistic moment captured in time. Each hat represents a piece of this groundbreaking collaboration between Runnies and Abdulla Lutfi. The limited nature also allows us to maintain quality control and ensure each piece properly showcases the intricate artwork. Future collaborations with Abdulla may feature new designs, but this original Dubai skyline edition will never be replicated, making it a true collector's piece for those who believe in our mission.

Not at all - the A.L. Edition maintains all of Runnies' performance standards. The artwork is applied using advanced sublimation printing that doesn't add weight or affect breathability. The hat still features our hidden sweatband technology, strategic ventilation through perforated panels, and the same lightweight 30-gram construction as our other models. The moisture-wicking fabric performs identically whether it's displaying artwork or solid colors. We've tested the printed panels extensively to ensure the design remains crisp and clear through sweat, rain, and repeated washing. This proves our belief that inclusive design and social impact don't require compromising on quality - you can run your best while supporting what matters.

The A.L. Edition exemplifies our deeper commitment that goes beyond one-off collaborations. Our founders' personal connection to people of determination through their adopted daughters drives authentic action, not marketing tactics. We partner with organizations like Mawaheb that train artists of determination, feature their work across our product lines, and ensure fair compensation that recognizes their professional value. We're building a model where inclusive business practices create sustainable opportunities. Our "See Different" philosophy means seeing beyond limitations to recognize talent, creativity, and potential. The A.L. Edition's success opens doors for more artists and proves that purpose-driven products can compete on quality alone while creating meaningful social impact.
