Born in 2007 from the deep-rooted expertise of Medi – a family-owned pioneer in medical compression technology with more than 70 years of research in circulation science – CEP represents the fascinating collision of medicine and performance.
Where once compression garments were confined to clinics and rehabilitation labs, the knowledge has now been distilled, enhanced, and re-engineered into elite sports gear designed for runners and endurance athletes.
Every product emerges from a collaborative powerhouse in Bayreuth, Germany – a laboratory where biomedical engineers, sports scientists, textile innovators, and champion athletes converge.
The result is equipment that goes far beyond conventional sportswear: precision-calibrated compression socks with flat, frictionless seams, anatomically mapped 3D compression profiles that accelerate circulation, stabilize joints and muscles, and deliver a perceptible increase in skin firmness. Each thread, each weave, is a fusion of science and sensation – a meticulous effort to make athletes not only run better, but feel better.
For the AW25 season, the brand unleashes its most ambitious Running collection yet – a modular layering system conceived in the lab and stress-tested by athletes in unforgiving environments. Engineered to adapt to the body’s fluctuating demands and to the planet’s most brutal conditions, this collection transcends the notion of seasonal wear. It is a symphony of textile technology and visual identity – harsh-weather performance built with surgical precision, wrapped in striking campaign imagery.
And within this new release lie several key innovations that push the limits of what running apparel can be.

It is a symphony of textile technology and visual identity – harsh-weather performance built with surgical precision, wrapped in striking campaign imagery.
And within this new release lie several key innovations that push the limits of what running apparel can be.
The CEP Pro Run 3L Jacket employs a three-layer woven polyester construction (100% polyester) with an integrated waterproof membrane – a barrier that maintains full resistance to wind and rain while enabling vapor permeability. Lightweight mesh inserts are positioned in high-heat zones to optimize air circulation, preventing accumulation of moisture during prolonged exertion. All seams are bonded for complete water resistance, while a raised collar and fully adjustable hood deliver structural defense against head-on weather exposure. A concealed zipper minimizes surface disturbance and chafing, ensuring comfort even over extended distances.
Performance parameters extend beyond weatherproofing to mobility and safety. The garment’s extremely lightweight matrix ensures minimal weight load, while raglan sleeve architecture preserves freedom of motion across the shoulder joints. A wider cut accommodates modular layering systems without restricting airflow. Reflective detailing increases visibility under low-light and fog conditions, enhancing safety in urban and rural environments alike. The Pro Run 3L Jacket is engineered as a full-spectrum outer shell – a functional system that integrates breathability, mobility, and protection in one ultralight package.
The CEP OMNISPEED BOWTECH represents a new generation of high-performance super trainers – a system engineered to accelerate performance while preserving the body over distance. At its core lies the patented BowTech kinetic technology, which synchronizes with the natural rolling mechanics of the foot to deliver measurable boosts in energy return and running efficiency. This mechanism works in synergy with N+Foam, a responsive cushioning compound designed to absorb impact forces and release propulsive energy at toe-off. The result is a gait cycle defined by reduced muscular and joint load, improved ankle-foot stability, and enhanced running economy – advancing performance while actively minimizing injury risk.
Beneath the surface, a glass fiber–reinforced Pebax plate operates as a dynamic energy infrastructure, storing kinetic input during midstance and releasing it during propulsion. This structure also supports the windlass mechanism of the foot, ensuring alignment, comfort, and mechanical efficiency during prolonged exertion. With a weight of 290 g (UK size 8), a 7 mm drop, and stack heights of 30 mm at the forefoot and 37 mm at the heel, the shoe is precisely calibrated for road terrain and classified as a high-performance training model. The OMNISPEED BOWTECH functions as both propulsion engine and stabilizer – a biomechanical device that transforms human locomotion into a faster, more efficient, and more sustainable process.
The AW25 collection is now available through the brand’s official website and selected retailers worldwide – an open invitation to experience how decades of medical compression expertise have been transformed into state-of-the-art running technology. Each piece carries the imprint of clinical precision and athletic ambition, hinting at an even greater future where medical science continues to reshape performance wear. What has been revealed so far is only the beginning, and the prospect of how this compression technology will evolve is nothing short of exhilarating.
