Lịch sử
Matt Taylor and Luke Scheybeler founded Tracksmith in 2014 in Wellesley, Massachusetts. The brand emerged as a reaction against the neon-colored, mass-market athletic apparel of the early 21st century. By prioritizing traditional materials like merino wool and classic tailoring, Tracksmith influenced a shift toward heritage-inspired performance wear. Its focus on the Boston Marathon and regional racing culture established a specific historical narrative within modern athletic fashion.
