Issue 70 · February 12, 2025
All issuesTen days ago, the chosen one, clairvoyant groundhog "Staten Island Chuck" (high key far more accurate than Punxsutawney Phil, don't @ us) confirmed the writing on the wall... 6 more weeks of the coldest, snowiest winter in recent mem. Fortunately, shortly after seeing his shadow he called us up to let us know we're still good to drop our Spring Collection before then. PHEW. For the amuse-bouche of Spring (you're in a restaurant now), dive into the mood board that's been hanging in HQ for the better part of 11 months now and informs the colors, silhouettes, and patterns of the upcoming collection...
"Can we still fall in love [with The Membership] this Spring?" -@7SoulsDeep. If you got this reference, we have a prize for you. First one to DM us a real 7SD piece with a thumbs up in view wins a free Membership for life. But that's besides the point. What we're trying to say is for the 2025 edition of The Membership, we've added the top 3 most requested new benefits (and then some). Read on below.
Phone, wallet, keys, b-mail: The mood board, The Membership 2025, Millrose recap, Monsieur Saturday, and The Program all over again.
01
It's the tiiiime of the seaaaason. We're back for the first time since Winter '24 with a patented mildly esoteric mood board by Bandit Chief Designer, Ardith Singh—this time setting the foundation for the upcoming Spring Collection. New silhouettes, a fresh palette, and new fonts/patterns/gradients all inspired by vintage imagery pulled from the ever-expanding worlds of art, architecture, runway, and design.

For the third lap around The Membership sun, we've added the top three most requested benefits from our end of year Member survey... Increased gift cards, Member exclusive releases, Bandit Bucks™ (WIP name), new partner benefits. Our fractional accountant lady who lives rent free in our Slack and we've never actually met keeps asking us what we're doing. We think that's a good thing... for you.
MEMBER UPDATES

Our Race Correspondent & Chief Good for the Sport Officer, Tim Rossi, was ringside at the Millrose Games this past weekend as world records went down in flames and Olympic Gold Medalists battled for glory. If Track & Field was a stock, we'd tell you to buy buy buy, and if Rossi's voice was also a stock... we'd tell you to SELL #worthit.

Step 1: Close your eyes. Step 2: Imagine a 2D illustration of your latest running outfit, drawn from the knee down past your foot and placed on a solid background. Step 3: Open your eyes and go to Monsieur Saturday's Instagram . Were you close? Not even a little? Start over at Step 1. You got this.
MONSIEUR SATURDAY

The Program is back and smaller than ever. By 13.1 miles to be exact. But where there is less distance, there is more speed! Or so we tell ourselves as the nerves ramp on the starting line of the BK Half this Year. Our twice annual in-person training experience kicks off on the 24th for a 12 week block to get you to Coney Island in one piece and with a shiny new PR. (Nathan's hot dogs sold separately).
