Introducing Project Terrain: Engineering The Future Of Performance with Samuel Ross

This week, WHOOP Founder and CEO Will Ahmed welcomes designer Samuel Ross, back to the WHOOP Podcast to unveil Project Terrain, the new collection built to elevate your performance. From technical Italian and Japanese fabrics to architectural steel clasps and reflective detailing, Samuel shares how function, endurance, and silhouette drive every decision. Together, Will and Samuel explore each of the pieces of the collection, diving into the intent that went into the creation of each. Whether its the perforation of the fabrics, the logo detailing, or material finishing, each detail of this collection was thoughtfully created to reimagine performance wear for modern athletes and everyday high performers.
