Philos Origin Story Image

Philos comes from the word “philosophy,” which is created from two ancient Greek words: philo (love) and sophia (wisdom). We thought the name aligned beautifully with our vision.

INSPIRATION

In Athens, there is an ancient stadium. This stadium has hosted running events since 600 BC. It is made entirely from marble, from the same quarry as the Parthenon. In 1896 AD it hosted the first modern Olympics and the first ever marathon. It is the oldest monument to sport in existence. These are the origins of running.

Running on that track, that experience, that feeling, was where our founder — marathoner, New Yorker, trained tailor, and former Ralph Lauren designer — began to consider grander themes and the idea of Philos: running is so ancient, pure, powerful, beautiful, so deeply human. Where is the elegance, beauty, refinement, in running today? Where is the ancient Greek ideal of beauty in motion?

VISION

A new philosophy for running. Philos is a running brand based between Amsterdam and New York started in 2024. Sleek and elegant performance apparel informed by silhouette, made from the finest fabrics in France, consciously crafted in Portugal, precision-tailored for running.

Philos embodies a reconnection to the origins of sport: a harmony of elegance and performance – celebrating the body as temple and running as ceremony. 

THE FUTURE HAS AN ANCIENT HEART
