UYN Sock & KYMRA Pick-Up
Participants can visit the UYN Booth (#8118) on Saturday, August 2, 2025, to pick up their gifted UYN RUNNER’S ONE socks and KYMRA running tee.

The Run
The shakeout run will take place on Sunday, August 3, 2025, at 6:00 AM, starting at the Westin River North Hotel - 320 N. Dearborn St. 

UYN® – Unleash Your Nature
UYN blends Italian innovation, biotech, and plant-based materials to create high-performance apparel and footwear. We believe nature’s materials aren’t just more sustainable—they perform better. From castor bean-based NATEX to infrared-powered tees, sock-to-shoe footwear, and Zerocuff socks, every product is engineered to help you move better and recover faster. Proudly made in Italy, UYN is redefining nature-powered performance.
UYN RUNNER’S ONE – No Cuff. More Performance.
Run farther, feel better. UYN RUNNER’S ONE socks feature our game-changing ZEROCUFF design—no tight cuff, just a secure fit that improves circulation, reduces fatigue, and eliminates pressure marks.
Made from 100% bio-based NATEX®, they’re ultra-light, breathable, moisture-wicking, and odor-resistant. COOL AIR FLOW ventilation, ANTI-IMPACTOR cushioning, and 3D PRESHOCK-SHIELD protection deliver total comfort and support, mile after mile.
KYMRA Tee – BioTech performance, redefined
The KYMRA Tee represents the future of functional clothing. Built with plant-based fibers, it delivers top-level performance without fossil-based synthetics.
At just 98g, it combines Ariacel (wood pulp) for quick-drying freshness, Flexicorn for UV-resistant stretch, and NATEX for lightweight, odor-fighting breathability. Seamless Hypermotion construction and targeted technologies like Drylight, Flexy Ribs, and Feelines provide freedom of movement, ventilation, and comfort.
Made in Italy. Engineered for movement.
