Bandit

Bandit is a Brooklyn, New York-based premium running apparel brand founded in 2020 by Tim West, Nick West, and Ardith Singh, born from a Williamsburg basement apartment and inspired by Bobbi Gibb — the original bandit who crashed the 1966 Boston Marathon — with a mission to evolve running through fashion-forward design, progressive product innovation, and fierce community. Starting with performance socks sold out of the Brooklyn Track Club, Bandit has grown into a full head-to-toe brand of singlets, tops, shorts, tights, outerwear, and accessories — engineered with proprietary fabrics like Stamina-V™, Vento™, and Micromesh™ — with flagship stores in New York, a growing World Tour event series, and a loyal global membership community. Backed by $14.25M in funding from Plus Capital, Collaborative Fund, and Point King Capital, Bandit is what running looks like when New York City makes it its own.
