Go Beyond with the New BOB Gear Alterrain Pro Jogging Stroller

FORT MILL, S.C., Feb. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — BOB Gear, the leading manufacturer of high-performance jogging strollers and accessories for active families, introduces a new stroller that’s ready for anything: the BOB Gear® Alterrain™ Pro Jogging Stroller. This durable jogging stroller gives parents the freedom to get out and go—while their little ones comfortably experience the joy of the ride.

Each detail on the new Alterrain Pro enhances performance, convenience and comfort of the ride—and looks good doing it. Featuring SmoothShox™ —BOB Gear’s newest suspension system—and air-filled tires, the Alterrain Pro can take on both rugged terrain and bumpy sidewalks with ease. Modern, performance fabrics, a water- and wind-proof canopy, and a padded compression seat with infinite recline keep kids dry and comfortable. An ergonomic handbrake provides downhill control, and the extra-large cargo basket features a zippered lid to help families gear up and go. When the ride is over, an innovative one-hand quick fold collapses the stroller to a self-standing position in seconds. Parents can easily roll away the stroller like wheeled luggage or remove the rear wheels for compact storage.

Beyond its superior functionality and high-performance design, the Alterrain Pro makes a statement rolling down streets and trails with its sleek frame, reflective rims and completely-refreshed BOB Gear branding. The new BOB Gear shield reflects the brand’s story of boundless adventure and active lifestyle. And the logo’s fonts and colors have been modernized while still conveying the unprecedented strength of the brand.

“The Alterrain Pro pays tribute to the iconic BOB Gear design and rugged durability, while upping the ante with major upgrades,” says Kaitlin Bissett, BOB Gear Product Manager. “The enhanced SmoothShox suspension system soaks up bumps on any terrain, the one-hand quick fold collapses the stroller in seconds, and the modern styling will surely turn heads. Every last detail is designed with careful precision for a one-of-a-kind jogging stroller that takes families anywhere they want to go.”

The BOB Gear Alterrain Pro jogging stroller (US MSRP: $549-$569) is now available online and in-store at mass and specialty retailers in the All-Weather Black fashion. Additional fashions, including All-Weather Olive, All-Weather Navy and All-Weather Lunar will be available starting in early Spring. For more information about BOB Gear, visit the brand-new website.

The Pingree Mayor  – Meet Detroit’s very first locally crafted sneaker

Meet Detroit’s very first locally crafted sneaker: The Pingree Mayor. Inspired by Hazen S. Pingree, Mayor of Detroit (1889-1897), shoemaker and veteran, each shoe is handmade by our team of US veterans.

A small team of US veterans and Detroit makers at the start-up Pingree Detroit are taking leather “scrap” from the production of 2019 cars in the Detroit Auto Industry and turning it into unique leather accessories and the first sneakers ever made in Detroit.

This emerging social impact business is trying to address challenges facing veterans while creating jobs in Detroit and making the sustainable footwear and fashion accessories of the future.

The Mayor is made from luxurious leather reclaimed from the auto industry. Designed and meticulously crafted with care to last a lifetime, each is stamped with a unique serial number, so it’s yours and yours alone.

Designed and built entirely in Detroit, the Pingree Mayor is the start of something big. They’re not just making some of the finest shoes on the market, they’re establishing Detroit as a footwear capital. They are committed to working with the Motor City’s most innovative, creative designers. They’re always putting our best foot forward– the most stylish, too.

How many products do you own that you know exactly who made them? This team of US Veterans and civilians are proud of their work- as they should be! It takes a pretty gritty group of people to bring shoe making back to Detroit for the first time in nearly 50 years. After years of hard work, research, and training, they’re proud to say that they found that team.

A Team of Civilians and Veterans

They are a worker-owned, social impact company founded in January of 2015 to create resiliency and living wage work for veterans and Detroiters and to create sustainable products that maximize well-being.

The team of Detroit makers handcraft bags, accessories and footwear, using high-quality leather reclaimed from the Detroit auto industry.

Every one of their goods has character and purpose. Just like the people who make it. Right in Detroit!

Today I had the honor of tying the first pair of sneakers made by veterans at Pingree Detroit. pic.twitter.com/yPdG7qJDsY
