Founded in October 2020 by members of New York’s running community, Bandit Running set out to build the world’s most authentic, community-driven running brand. Frustrated by a lack of gear that spoke to both performance and culture, the founders created Bandit as a response—technical apparel with sharp design, real utility, and a strong point of view.
What began in NYC quickly grew through the support of local clubs, crews, and everyday runners who saw themselves in the brand’s mission: to inspire greater passion and participation in the sport through products, experiences, and stories built hand-in-hand with the community.
Bandit’s kits are purpose-built—premium fabrics, precise fits, and performance features tested by athletes from track to marathon. But beyond the gear, Bandit is about belonging. It's a brand that welcomes all runners—regardless of pace or background—and invites them into something bigger: a movement shaped by authenticity, creativity, and care.
Today, Bandit is worn worldwide but remains rooted in its original ethos: community first, always. Every drop, every race, every story reflects that.
Built for performance. Worn with pride. Powered by the people who run.
