THE UNSPONSORED PROJECT 2024

EMPOWERING ATHLETES AT THE
2024 U.S. OLYMPIC TRIALS
We proudly announce the return of the Unsponsored Project, supporting athletes at the 2024 U.S. Track & Field Olympic Trials. For the second consecutive year, we'll provide completely unbranded kits to athletes, highlighting challenges in the current sponsorship model.
In 2023, the Unsponsored Project debuted with 8 athletes wearing unbranded gear at the US Outdoor National Championships, leading to one athlete securing a major footwear sponsorship. This year, we expand support to over 35 athletes, providing unbranded singlets, crops, quarter-tights, buns, and warm-ups. This initiative empowers athletes to declare their independence while chasing Olympic dreams.
