The Home Court Advantage

Boston. The city that we grew up in, and have called home our entire lives. The city is a special place for us and one that fits (and helped form) the Neon Bandits lifestyle. As a young business, we’ve had our fair share of trying to figure out just who we wanted to be. We made some mistakes (as everyone does) that first year, and tried to be everything to everyone. While we were able to get points of distribution and develop great partnerships all across the country, we have spent the past few months getting back to the basics...

Why being Knit-In Matters

Before launching Neon Bandits in June of 2015, we spent over 18 months trying to find a factory partner that could produce the highest quality socks. We didn’t want just any socks to have our name on them; we wanted to make a quality sock that met (or exceeded) the durability and functionality of the largest brands in the space. And over the past year and a half, based on the feedback that we have received from customers, teams and partners, we have done just that. A major point of differentiation (and one that us sock geeks love to boast about)...

Taking you Behind the Scenes of The Buzz Photo Shoot

Early in June we dropped it low with the launch of The Buzz. And to get some content, we put together a small but powerful squad to shoot in one of the most special places in Boston—a rooftop deck overlooking the city skyline. Our friends at Surreal Sunglasses hooked us up for the shoot with some of their awesome new specs. Be sure to check out their new bamboo shades, in particular, which are bound to be a summer fav. As always, we couldn’t have done it without our trusty photographer (and childhood friend), Madeline. Lady always shows up ready to...

Best Places to Flash some Calf

Spring is here. Yup, we dodged a bullet this winter (knock on wood) in the Northeast, while our friends out West in the mountains are still enjoying some fresh powder… If you’re anything like us, since you have been cooped up in the gym all winter, we know you cannot wait to get outside, flash us some calf, and get that body ready for the summer. Whether you are headed out for a run, hike or just feel like getting some steps in (FitBit, we see you), we wanted to provide you our favorite places across the country to get...

2016 Boston Marathon

Growing up in Boston, you know that Spring officially starts once Marathon Monday rolls around. Arguably the best sporting event in a city obsessed with sports, the Boston Marathon is a special race that starts out in Hopkinton, Massachusetts and weaves its way through the crowded suburban Boston streets and finishes in the heart of downtown Boston. I have run one marathon in my life and have had the urge to run Boston for a few years now. The race is more than a race when you are from Boston and one that is difficult to describe for those that...
