SPECIALIZATION
UNISEX
Founded in Brooklyn in 2020 by members of the New York City running community, Bandit Running emerged to serve dedicated, everyday athletes. The brand was born from the founders' experience as competitive runners who saw a gap in the market for gear that was both highly technical and culturally relevant. Bandit's identity is deeply rooted in its community-first approach, initially testing prototypes like socks with local run clubs to ensure authenticity and incorporating runner feedback into its designs.
