Our story
Built in Philly.
Worn everywhere.
We started Modern Sportswear in 2018 with a simple idea: athletes deserved better gear at honest prices, made by people who actually train.
Our mission
To engineer premium performance apparel that respects the athlete — their body, their wallet, and the planet they train on. No corner cutting. No marketing inflation. Just gear that performs.
Our vision
To become the most-trusted homegrown American sportswear label — the brand serious athletes reach for first, knowing every stitch was made with intent.
What we stand for
Quality first
We test every fabric and stitch before it leaves Philadelphia.
People before profit
Fair wages and ethical manufacturing — full stop.
Built to last
Designed for longevity over fast-fashion turnover.
Community-driven
Built with input from local athletes, run clubs, and gyms.
Founder note
From the founder
"I grew up running in North Philly. Every pair of overpriced shoes and every itchy synthetic tee made me wonder why nobody made gear that respected its wearer. Modern Sportswear is the brand I always wished existed. Welcome to the team."
