We get a lot of pressing questions here at Bandit HQ. Like "are you throwing down for the NYC marathon?" and "is your Winter Collection coming out next week?" The answers will reveal themselves. Watch the moon. The lion will speak. Yes, of course.
Anywho, the first delivery of our Winter Collection is riiight around the corner. Beautiful new high performance fabrics (welcome to the team, Merino and Japanese Wool), items, patterns, updated silhouettes and more that continue our uncompromising drive to never sacrifice function for fashion and vice versa. You're gonna like the way you run... We guarantee it.
B-Mail contains mood boards, AI art, Fast & Loose, Rossi's thoughts, and detailed instructions for tapering. Enjoy responsibly.

Bandit resident Coach, Steve Finley is here with tips for debatably the most mysterious and treacherous period of the marathon training cycle: the taper. What you'll feel, why you'll feel it, how to deal with that lingering ache, what to prioritize, and more. Plus, a personal challenge for good measure.

Our CEO Nick is a super free'd up guy with not much on his plate. When he's not making sure we all have jobs and can do pop-ups around the world, or playing dinosaur with his 2 year old daughter (who demands he become a dinosaur as soon as he comes home every single night), he's creating sci-fi Bandit inspired art with Midjourney. The AI future is bright... and weird.

Tim Rossi set a new course record driving the Vandit from HQ to Chicago the week before the marathon. Legend has it he only stopped for Monster Energy fourteen times (a personal best in golf scoring). Now that Tim is back in one piece, we asked him a bunch of random questions only he held the answers to.
