Behind The Lens: CADDIS Founder Tim Parr

 

TIM PARR

It used to be as we got older and started to need reading glasses, the only option were those “granny” glasses sold in the drugstore, demi-frames that sat on the edge of your nose. They were called granny glasses for a reason. Wearing readers made you look old. All that changed when CADDIS came along, reinventing the category, making readers — and getting older — look cool.

The opening paragraph on their about page reads: “CADDIS is calling bullshit on 50 is the new 40, on the whole fountain of youth illusion, on the many industries that are profiting on vanity and fear of age, on the concept of ‘aging gracefully’ and on the notion of raging against the dying of the light.” But that was not the original idea for the brand. It was to reinvent the category, because “the product sucked”, said Tim Parr, the founder of CADDIS, in a recent conversation with STYLE of SPORT.

I met Tim Parr by chance in the CADDIS shop in the West Village of Manhattan a couple of weeks ago. I was there picking out glasses for a photo shoot. He asked if I needed help, that he “kind of worked there.” We started chatting and I asked him what he actually did in the store. He smiled and told me he’d started the company. As the universe had presented this opportunity, I asked if I could interview him for STYLE of SPORT. Five days later we were chatting over coffee about the evolution of CADDIS, how it all started, and what’s to come. Read More

Running goes to the extremes in these maximum cushioned trainers built for comfort, but made for performance and speed.

LEFT COLUMN: ADIZERO PRIME X 2.0 STRUNG SHOES $240. A high-stacked race shoe made for performance, the Adizero Prime X 2 Strung is constructed with a dynamic woven upper and features 3 layers of LIGHTSTRIKE PRO in a stack height of 50 mm. An all-new energy core between two layers of foam reduces weight and provides spring in the fore- and midfoot.

ALTRA VIA OLYMPUS 2 $160. Altra running and training shoes are distinguished by their roomy toe box and zero-to-low drop. The Via Olympus offers all that in a generous stack height of lightweight max cushion foam. Rocker shape geometry encourages an efficient toe-off and a refined molded heel collar ensures a comfortable, secure fit.

BROOKS HYPERION MAX 3 $200. Designed to offer protection and propulsion with its high-stack cushioning and a nylon SpeedVault propulsion plate, the women’s Hyperion Max 3 helps you train fast and recover well to get the most out of every training session. The curved geometry of the RapidRoll Rocker actively assists heel-to-toe transitions for quick turnover and faster runs.
