Many athletic brands have amazing products but lack diversity in their leadership. These brands not only have stylish clothing you can wear while working out but are also Black-owned!
PRYME Activewear
Founded by Justice Falade and Ikechi Enyioma, PRYME Activewear focuses on physical, mental and spiritual health. “PRYME is an embodiment of this mindset and it should translate into the way we live our everyday lives,” the brand’s “About Us” page states. “Each person’s PRYME is different and we want to share this journey with you.” PRYME has products for everyone. Whether you’re looking for an affordable reusable water bottle (this one can compress into half of its original size) or some sleek track pants, PRYME has you covered!
30 and Gold
This women’s size-inclusive brand wants everyone to feel welcome. Founded just last year, the brand has both athletic wear and athleisure on the site, giving customers the ultimate flexibility in choosing what to wear. The brand has different collections as well. Their clothing comes in sets with different styles and colors or separates to give people the option to mix and match!
Unity Apparel
Unity Apparel makes clothing for everyone. The brand has a symbolic logo of a fork, which is made up of the letters “U” and “N” to make a “W.” “The “W” stands for we and we stand TOGETHER,” as stated on the website’s “About Us” page. Unity Apparel is a more affordable brand that sells sets, jackets, shorts and more. The company has so much to offer at such good prices! With the slogan “Keep moving together,” what’s not to love?
Glamourina (size-inclusive, sizes XS to 3XL)
This brand has been featured in publications like Essence, Marie Claire, Refinery29 and more. Glamourina is a black and women-owned company with clothing for sizes extra small to triple extra-large. Their most recent collection is their Tribe collection, full of clothing with solid colors and beautiful prints. In addition to size inclusivity, the brand also has a self-care section on their site full of interesting articles.
These brands offer an amazing variety in athletic wear, whether you’re looking for an everyday lounging outfit or performance gear, these companies have you covered.
