Philos Origin Story Image

Philos comes from “philosophy,” drawn from two ancient Greek words: philo (love) and sophia (wisdom). We thought the name aligned beautifully with our vision.

OUR STORY

Philos began on a trip to Athens in 2023, during a morning run in the ancient Panathenaic Stadium. The stadium, made from the same marble as the Parthenon, has hosted running events since 600 BC. In 1896 it hosted the first modern Olympics and first marathon. Running on that track, our founder — runner, marathoner, New Yorker, trained tailor, and former Ralph Lauren designer — began to ask questions.

If running is so ancient, pure, powerful, beautiful, so deeply human, why do we cover ourselves in polyester and neon and heavy branding? Where is the elegance, the refinement, the Greek ideal of beauty in motion?

OUR VISION

A new philosophy for running. Philos is a female-first running brand based in Amsterdam and New York started in 2025. Sleek and elegant performance apparel informed by silhouette, made from the finest fabrics in France, precision-tailored for running. Our flagship store in Amsterdam is a celebration of running, architecture, and design.

Philos embodies a reconnection to the origins of sport: a harmony of elegance and performance – celebrating the body as temple and running as ceremony.
