About The Athletic Community

This crazy adventure started in 2013 with one sock - The PDX Airport Carpet Sock - and the community continues to grow from there. We are The Athletic, 10% fearless, 90% spontaneous, and a whole lotta wholesome. We have been athletes all of our lives, from soccer to judo, to cycling to running, nothing has brought us more joy and community than moving our bodies. The Athletic is bold and unconventional, just like you. You carve your own path and you do it with flair. Who else would revere airport carpets the way The Athletic Community does? At the end of the day, our goal is simple, keep The Athletic fun. Wishing you never ending descents (or climbs, if that’s your jam), Jess + VanessaRead their story
