Behind the Bandits

Holidays, Small Business, Socks - November 18, 2018

Welcome to Small Business Season

Over the three plus years that Neon Bandits has been around, you’ve seen us highlight a number of custom socks that we’ve developed alongside and for other small businesses. And this holiday season, we are excited to bring you some of the socks that we have had the opportunity to develop for fellow small businesses this holiday season. Instead of a "Small Business Saturday," consider this our Small Business Season!

Bike Socks, Holiday, Orders, Socks, Winter - August 30, 2018

Wrapping up our Holiday Work

'Tis the season for holiday planning While winter may seem like a long way away, we have spent our summer prepping for it. And no, we haven't been hoarding shovels, or doing constant squats to get ready for ski season (although our legs and calves are always on point), but rather, we've been knee deep designing socks with our incredible partners for their holiday orders.

We pride ourselves on never taking a...

Summer Camp with Ohio Dreams

Just like Neon Bandits, Ohio Dreams is a family run and operated business. Athletes ranging from 7 to 17 years old from all over the globe travel to their campus in Butler to attend the camp...

Team Sea to See

A couple of months back, we spotlighted sock partner, Team with a Vision, whom we worked with during the Boston Marathon. It is through that relationship that we learned of the Race Across America (RAAM) and Team Sea to See. Immediately upon learning about what they were embarking on, we knew we wanted to get involved and support the team and their goals however we could. June 16th, the team of 8 riders (+ many others in crew and support) will begin the race literally across America. They are the first RAAM team with all blind stokers. By taking on...

Heartbreak Hill Running x Neon Bandits (Marathon Edition)

When it came to Boston '18, we didn't stop with Team with a Vision. As we mentioned a few months back, we partnered with with the team over at the Heartbreak Hill Running Company to develop a performance running sock. Given that the Boston Marathon is the biggest running event here in Boston, we worked with them to develop four exclusive Heartbreak Hill x Neon Bandits designs exclusive to HHRC for the race; they launched a couple of weeks back and are only available at their three retail locations and online. The four designs that we launched with them are were designed to celebrate...
