Bandit Running, the Brooklyn-based running brand known for its premium performance apparel and accessories, has opened its second New York City store at 328 Bleecker Street in the West Village. the new location is known as the “Running Room” and follows the success of their original store in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
The West Village store exclusively features a nine-piece capsule collection, including hoodies, tees, hats and socks, with two items designed in collaboration with Rhythm Zero. The store will also carry the new summer collection and other popular pieces. Unlike most retail spaces in the city, the Running Room’s hours will cater to early-morning runners, opening as early as 7 am on weekdays and 8 am on weekends.
Designed to be more than just a retail space, the Running Room aims to serve as a hub for NYC’s running community. It includes amenities like a Rhythm Zero x Bandit Coffee Shop, communal seating, a high-fidelity listening area and a projector for viewing major events like the Olympics — runners can also utilize lockers and a bag drop during weekly group runs.
Ale Iaccarino, Bandit’s head of design, has crafted the store to combine warmth and modernity. The space features honey wood finishes and mid-century teak and marble details, drawing inspiration from Japanese cafes and Parisian design. Vintage furniture and JBL 4315 Studio Monitors enhance the inviting atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for race watch parties and gatherings.
