Lewis Hamilton x Lululemon: A Partnership With Purpose
In the heart of Covent Garden’s iconic Space House – a brutalist masterpiece in the centre of London – lululemon and Lewis Hamilton brought intention, innovation, and inspiration together to celebrate the lululemon Metal Vent Tech collection. But this was more than a product launch; it was a rallying cry for performance with purpose.

As the global face of lululemon’s “No Holding Back” campaign, Lewis Hamilton is redefining what modern athleticism looks like. Not just in speed or strength, but in the mental clarity, discipline, and intentionality that drives elite performance. His partnership with lululemon feels like a natural evolution – where the best in performance apparel meets the mindset of a true champion.
“Being back in London this week, to celebrate a collection that’s become such a core part of my routine, feels really exciting,” Hamilton said at the event.
Slow Down Practice
The private media experience began with a calming, meditative Slow Down Practice, personally introduced by Hamilton. This immersive moment invited guests to pause – reflecting lululemon’s commitment to holistic wellbeing. It paved the way for a rich conversation between Hamilton and lululemon ambassador Charlie Dark MBE, founder of Run Dem Crew. Together, they explored the value of slowing down to speed up, how breathwork fuels performance, and why intentional movement is now Hamilton’s secret weapon for creativity and recovery.
“I’ve always been intentional with what I wear and who I work with,” Hamilton explained. “lululemon didn’t just turn up with product—they came with purpose, and that’s something I really connected with.”
Metal Vent Tech Collection
At the centre of this collaboration is the lululemon Metal Vent Tech collection – designed for both training and running, with performance-driven features that speak to the needs of elite athletes and everyday movers alike. Seamless construction eliminates chafing, Silverescent™ technology keeps odours at bay, and breathable mesh zones ensure optimal airflow. With four-way stretch and a sleek, technical aesthetic, this collection goes beyond the gym, seamlessly blending function and style.
Hamilton’s look for the day – Ripstop Relaxed-Fit Cargo Pant and Coaches Jacket in Army Green, paired with the BeyondFeel running trainers – embodied lululemon’s new era of elevated men’s performance wear: minimalist, utilitarian, and built for everyday movement.
More than just a media showcase, the event was a statement of intent: that lululemon’s Metal Vent Tech collection isn’t just about what you wear – it’s about how you live, train, recover, and grow. At Ape to Gentleman, we often celebrate brands that prioritise both innovation and integrity. This collaboration does both – and does it exceptionally.
In a world obsessed with pushing forward, Hamilton and lululemon remind us that true progress lies in presence, purpose, and the moments we take to breathe.
