We believe every runner deserves high-performance footwear that doesn't cost a fortune.
The Run Wear was born in Portland, Oregon in 2022, when a group of dedicated runners grew frustrated with the growing gap between shoe prices and actual performance improvements. We asked a simple question: what if we could design world-class running shoes and sell them directly to runners — cutting out the middlemen, the celebrity endorsements, and the inflated retail markups?
Two years of prototyping, testing, and iterating later, the Stealth Runner Pro was born. We partnered with experienced footwear engineers and material scientists to develop a shoe that rivals the performance of $200+ competitors at a fraction of the cost.
Every pair of The Run Wear shoes is designed in Portland and manufactured in our partner facility using premium materials that meet the highest international standards. We test every batch, because when you're putting in the miles, your shoes need to keep up.
We're a small, independent team — and that's by design. It means we can focus on making great products rather than chasing quarterly earnings. It means we can listen to our customers and iterate quickly. And it means every pair of shoes we sell has our reputation behind it.
Every design decision starts with one question: does this make the shoe better for running? No gimmicks, no trends — just engineering.
By selling direct to consumers, we eliminate retail markups and pass the savings directly to you. Premium quality, honest pricing.
Every prototype is tested by our community of runners across different distances, surfaces, and conditions before it reaches your door.
We use recycled polyester in our knit uppers and Bluesign® approved materials. Better shoes don't have to cost the earth.
