WELCOME TO THE CIRCLE PIT

A new ritual, built from rock bottom. On May 15, ADIDAS and SATISFY opened THE CIRCLE PIT at Naranja Park, Oro Valley, Arizona. A crowd of familiar and fresh faces pressed into the space of our converted pump track, sorted by shoe colorway: Black, Army Green, Earth Brown. Each tone was assigned a heat and a band. Jamil Coury hatched the mechanics, while Aravaipa tracked every lap. Jivebomb called the Black team onto the track. Upchuck took the Green. One Step Closer brought in the Brown. With no stopwatch and no fixed distance, the sets lasted as long as they lasted, and the heats ran until they ended. Drain closed out the final. Rattlesnake Milk played the cooldown. Energy crushing through the loop, runners pumping through tight corners, the pack never thinned, never quite found order. Sound turned into stride, and the body took over. THE CIRCLE PIT filled and kept filling. ADIDAS | SATISFY drops this Friday, May 22. Music by Jivebomb, Upchuck, One Step Closer, Drain and Rattlesnake Milk.
