Gym Pants 'MMXIV' - Dark Grey

Dark Grey 'MMXIV' Training Pants – the Streetstyle Jogger with the GG / MMXIV Print

The 'MMXIV' is the pair that does not stay in the gym. Marled dark grey, with the white GG / MMXIV print running across the front of the thigh – clean, monochrome, streetwear. Athletically cut in a cotton blend (80% cotton, 20% polyester) with a soft brushed inside, plus hidden zips at the ankle, two side pockets and an elastic waistband with a white drawstring. Loose at the top, tapering narrow to the ankle – the cut that sits as well with clean sneakers as it does under a hoodie.

By Gym Generation, a Swiss gym wear brand since 2013 – the 'MMXIV' is the training pants with the heritage print, built for the step from the gym onto the street.

From the Gym onto the Street

Most training pants are made for the studio and only look right there. The 'MMXIV' is built differently: the GG / MMXIV print across the leg, the muted dark grey, the narrow sneaker cut – this is a streetwear piece that happens to train as well. With white sneakers and a hoodie it works outside just as it does under the bar. The gym pants you do not take off when you leave the gym.

The GG / MMXIV Print

Across the front of the thigh runs the white lettering GG / MMXIV – the Gym Generation initials and the year in Roman numerals. White on muted grey: enough contrast to be seen, clean enough not to shout. A print with a story behind it rather than a random logo – the signature that gives the 'MMXIV' its name.

Athletic Cut with a Hidden Ankle Zip

Room at the hip and thigh up top, tapered and narrow towards the bottom – the cut gives you freedom of movement where you need it and a clean, slim leg. At each ankle a zip sits hidden under a fabric placket: open, you get in easily; closed, it finishes narrow at the ankle and the stack over the sneaker stays clean.

Soft Cotton Blend, Brushed Inside

80% cotton and 20% polyester, brushed soft on the inside: the fabric sits soft against the skin – brushed means soft, not warm-lined. The pants wear comfortably from the warm-up to the last set and look just as good on the street afterwards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I wear the 'MMXIV' outside the gym?
That is what it is built for. The muted dark grey and the GG / MMXIV print make it a streetwear piece – as at home outside with sneakers and a hoodie as it is in the studio.

What does MMXIV stand for?
2014 in Roman numerals – alongside GG for Gym Generation. It is the year code that gives the model its name, printed rather than embroidered, and it is the reason the lettering reads as a mark rather than as branding.

How does the 'MMXIV' fit?
Athletic: loose at the hip and thigh, tapering narrow towards the ankle. Room to move at the top, a narrow finish at the ankle – not a tight legging fit.
