Big screen thrills meet next-level training gear. When Academy Award–winning director Jordan Peele needed a bold and futuristic training look for his new sports horror film “HIM,” premiering September 19, his team turned to OMORPHO.
The result? OMORPHO’s award-winning weighted G-Vest and G-Wear products are featured throughout the movie, worn by stars Marlon Wayans and breakout talent Tyriq Withers.
And trust us, these pieces don’t just look good under the lights, they deliver real-world performance benefits too.
How OMORPHO Was Selected
Peele and his costume design team approached OMORPHO ahead of filming in search of training gear that would stand out on screen and provide authentic athletic benefits. The OMORPHO G-Vest and G-Wear, featuring our proprietary MicroLoad design, provide a perfect blend of style and performance.
Unlike bulky, weighted vests, OMORPHO’s sleek design distributes hundreds of small, evenly placed weights across key muscle groups producing wearable resistance that doesn’t impact natural movement. This MicroLoad innovation creates a bold, cinematic silhouette while also providing real performance benefits for athletes. The effect on screen is both visually striking and an authentic representation of training gear that pushes boundaries.
OMORPHO products weren’t just props; they were integral to the story and training sequences. By outfitting Wayans, Withers, and other cast members in OMORPHO gear, “HIM” conveys the intensity of athletic preparation while highlighting how modern performance products can inspire strength and resilience.
MicroLoad™ Performance Meets Style
At the core of the OMORPHO is MicroLoad, our proprietary design that distributes weight across the body’s key muscle groups. This allows for resistance that:
- Provides an added boost to any activity
- Builds strength and cardiovascular endurance with every movement
- Improves speed, agility, and bone health
- Supports progressive overload training without the limitations of traditional weighted vests
For audiences, the presence of OMORPHO also offers a subtle glimpse into how far sportswear has evolved. No longer limited to black mesh or camouflage tactical vests, performance gear today can be sleek, versatile, and colorful. Peele’s use of OMORPHO underscores the cultural shift where athletic apparel becomes both high fashion and high function.
OMORPHO is the first training gear brand to produce weighted vests in seasonal colors to match the personality, intensity and style of our users. This Fall we launched Lava for him and Strawberry for her available now.
Trusted by NFL Athletes
Since its inception, OMORPHO has forged close relationships with NFL athletes and teams, using their feedback to fine-tune our performance gear. Julio Jones, former NFL wide receiver, 2× First-Team All-Pro and 7× Pro Bowl selection, took part in early product testing to help optimize the final design and weight distribution.
Today, players such as Demario Davis, Alexander Mattison, Britain Covey, DeeJay Dallas, and many more rely on OMORPHO weighted vests and sportswear in their regular training. By adding resistance they build the strength, speed, and endurance required to perform at the highest level.
This credibility among elite athletes is what made OMORPHO’s inclusion in “HIM” feel so authentic. The gear wasn’t a costume department fabrication, it’s the same equipment trusted in NFL locker rooms, training fields, and personal gyms.
