This crazy adventure started in 2013 with one sock - The PDX Airport Carpet Sock - and the community continues to grow from there.

If you’ve kept a close eye on The Athletic’s socials, you may have noticed that the brand has returned to The Rose City. The Athletic is based out of Portland, Oregon, and while we are a webstore for now, we are in the process of opening a storefront in the Central Eastside!

You may be wondering who we are and how we decided it would be a good idea to jump into owning this iconic brand.

Allow us to introduce ourselves, we are the Dittos. We are 10% fearless, 90% spontaneous. We have been athletes all of our lives, from soccer to judo, to cycling to running, nothing has brought us more joy and community than moving our bodies.

We love this brand. The Athletic is bold and unconventional, just like you. You carve your own path and you do it with flair. Who else would revere airport carpets the way The Athletic Community does? You truly are something else.

Our goal is simple, keep The Athletic fun. Join us!
