I will always have a special place in my heart and on this blog for Seattle-based brands. One brand I've grown particularly fond of over the last year or so is Brooks. The 104-year-old brand has really evolved its brand into a premier choice for runners everywhere. I'm a fan of their running team, the Brooks Beasts (which includes Megan Melasarte, a Filipina-American dynamo!)

Brooks has partnered with another Seattle brand, Casual Industrees for the "Fly Casual" lifestyle collection. Fly Casual is inspired by the 90s, a decade which saw many advancements in aviation (and huge local industry boom for Boeing) as well as the launch of the Brooks' Fusion running shoe and the Casual Industrees brand. Each piece features blue and teal accents because...Pacific Northwest.

I'm wearing the Fly Casual hoodie as I write this. Peep all the pieces below:

Limited quantities left at the Brooks Trailhead store in Fremont, and more available online.
