Founded in 2012 by former college runners Mike Burnstein and Dave Spandorfer, Janji is a Boston-based apparel brand built to connect runners with the wider world. The name, which means “promise” in Malay, reflects its core mission: to expand global access to clean water. From its inception, the brand has dedicated 2% of all sales to funding clean water projects and solutions, partnering with nonprofit organizations in the regions that inspire its collections. Each season, Janji collaborates with local artists from a specific country, creating unique, limited-run collections of running gear that feature culturally informed prints and designs. This approach infuses its functional apparel—from lightweight, moisture-wicking shirts and shorts to technical outerwear—with a distinct narrative and visual identity.
