Our 4 favorite (trail-) running routes
Instead of joining the Black Friday hysteria and going crazy while hunting some shopping deals, you should just treat yourself to a relaxing run through the city and its green surroundings. Regular running prevents many diseases. People who run regularly not only improve their fitness and endurance, but also train the cardiovascular system. Running is suitable for almost everyone. However, you should make sure that you are healthy all around.
Go for a ride in the city
November 22 is the international GO FOR A RIDE DAY. Just put your laptop or cell phone aside and get out the door. The best thing to do is to hop on your bicycle and ride around the city for a few hours. This clears your head and gives you new energy for the next challenges at work. Riding a bike in this nasty November weather? There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad equipment. And we have a solution for that, of course. One of our favorite brands is CCP from Japan.

The founder duo Kai and Flo do not have the standard fashion career and both come from different working fields.

We at the ARYS Store are impressed by Kai’s and Flo’s passion for what they do, their never-ending will to swim against the tide of the outdated fashion circus.

Knister: German's Favourite Hobby
We wouldn't be a store based in Germany without talking about our favourite hobby: Barbecuing. Temperatures are rising and people are gathering outdoors (COVID-free, of course) to grill - at the lake or in the park in BBQ safe zones. Flimsy, disposable grills make for a not-so-pleasant experience. We value good products, not only in clothing, but also in equipment.
So let's talk about the Knister Grill.

M0D44 - Not great, not terrible
Based in Kiev, M0D44 reflects the influence of Western and Eastern civilisations on local culture.
