Get to the choppa. We're going into overdrive starting this weekend, and stopping... never. First up, the BKLYN Mile is gonna light up Kent Ave like Doc Brown in an 81' Delorean. We've got two sold out Bandit Open Heats, a hyped-up cheer section (Rossi's the cowbell plug - come thru), and our 2nd annual afterparty at BK Backyard (rsvp here). For some of your race needs, we're back in-stock on a few favorites (Current socks, NY Navy, 7" compression, etc. etc.). We'll also be going BTS on our IG Close Friends for Members the next few days as we produce our Fall Campaign with Mr. Greer and the fine folks at Los York labs. Film or bust.
Now onto the #content... Our BKLYN Mile survival guide, mind-movies with Ned, a gourmet new episode of Fast & Loose, Summer campaign leftovers, and a peak into the Fall mood board with Ardith.

It ain't the fastest, nor the prettiest mile. Those superlatives are reserved for that boujee 5th Ave course. This race though... This race is the most fun, Brooklyn mile you could possibly ask for. There's construction, pot-holes, jam packed corrals, sneaky hills, a narrow finish tunnel, drumlines, cheer zones, and of course—our afterparty. Here's some tips from Finley on how to make it out alive...
CHEAT CODES

Part man, part golden retriever, part Bandit athlete, Ned Trim, will be toeing the spray-painted line this Sunday at the BKLYN Mile. We caught up with Ned for a sneak-peak into his mind-movies and pre-race rituals before he goes out there and sets the world record (for best vibes in a mile race).
REM CYCLES
04
As we transition into the Fall grindset, feast your eyes on a collection of photos from our Summer Campaign that we love, but didn't quite make it to primetime. Now they have a home. We'll miss you, Summer Campaign. Fall, you've got big shoes to fill.

Straight from the source, Bandit Chief Designer, Ardith Singh: "For me, the idea of typically unexpected characters finding the joy in movement connect back to the idea of embracing the full experience of a runner; every version of themselves, each moment distorting the other as it layers on." Dive into the infinite galaxy of Ardith's mind.
