Issue 78 · July 2, 2025
All issuesT'was the night before the night before the night before the Bandit Grand Prix. HQ is simply a Shining-level maze of cardboard boxes. We haven't seen Ardith in days, but we can hear her... somewhere.
We've poured every ounce of our Bandit souls into making Saturday the most unforgettable concoction of racing, spectating, and good 'ol fashioned partying this beautiful running world has ever seen. Registration for the Open 5Ks and the team relay is still open. DO ITTTT *Shia LaBeouf voice*.
Did we mention the whole day is sonically soundtracked by Washed Out with a special DJ Set afterparty following the Super Final? You bet your buns, we're using the full force of the Storehouses's insane AV system. Drop your name on the ol' Forte, tell 'em we sent ya.

01 — BGP Capsule
The U.S. Open Hat, Super Bowl Sideline Jackets, the 2010 World Cup vuvuzelas. Goated merchandise that defined a generation of iconic sport championship icons. Lovingly designed by the Bandit Squad™, our inaugural commemorative BGP capsule will be available exclusively on July 5th at the Brooklyn Storehouse when it all goes down.
BGP MERCH
02 — Spectator registration
In a city of $9 slices, $24 cocktails, and lambo CitiBike top-speeds being lowered from 18mph to 15mp (not a cost thing, but still whack), a free ticket to anything 'round these parts is tough to come by. But that's exactly what we're offering here. Come one, come all. Spectate for the Grand Prix and party the sweaty night away with the man who invented the way summer sounds. Feel it all around .
GUEST LIST
03 — Meet Gianni
It's not often we get extra weird with our photo edits, but when we do, we go to a sorcerer by the name of Gianni Gallant. First on the Bandit scene with our ASICS collab shots, we returned to the studio with Mr. Gallant to bring to life our most recent campaign for The Program, an abstract take on the metamorphosis of a 16-week marathon training cycle. Meet Gianni within.
MEET GIANNI
04 — World Tour
Delta, can you heeaaar us? We're gonna need a new loyalty tier for Mr. Let Him Cook (Steve aka Stove), who probably has racked up enough points to earn an actual diamond medallion to wear around his neck during flights like Mr. T. While all eyes are on the BGP this weekend, we're cautiously taking a peak at what the calendar has loaded up for the rest of the year. See you on the flippity-flop.
WORLD TOUR
05 — Open roles at HQ
John and Tim pulled back to back all-nighters leading into Summer Delivery 2. Rossi is on the brink of collapse. Steve's eyes started going in Madrid (they're fine now). Grace was seen driving the Vandit frantically around the Garment district for lord knows what. It's time to add some new ingredients to the special sauce of Bandit: our team. It's fun, we promise. Check out our open roles and apply within.
