Urban Outfitters is diving into the ultra-competitive market for fitness apparel with a new brand called "Without Walls."

The brand brings Urban's eccentric style to workout gear, with a plethora of crop tops, patterned running tights, and odd novelties.

The price range is slightly lower than Lululemon's and roughly in line with Gap's Athleta, with leggings and running tights going for between $58 and $88, shorts for $34 to $54 and windbreakers for $124 to $154. Buzzfeed's Sapna Maheshwari first reported on the new brand.

While Urban Outfitters is smart to get into the rapidly expanding market for active apparel, some of its products appear to be more fashion-focused than functional, and the prices appear to be pretty steep.

For example, this "Performance Romper" is going for $88.
