They get a lot of hate on here, but I feel like they deserve a shoutout for their support of Cravont Charleston and others

That is what led to Charleston signing with Tracksmith, the Boston-based apparel company known for its preppy, high-end running gear, after the 2022 Mt. SAC Relays. While Tracksmith’s gear is marketed more towards distance runners, it has found success by offering smaller deals to athletes overlooked by the bigger brands or competing in less popular disciplines. In 2021, Tracksmith had 33 athletes at the US Olympic Trials and produced five Olympians. Now it has a US champion in track & field’s signature event.
Charleston may not rep the brand much longer — he said he is free to sign with a shoe company before Worlds and will surely have plenty of offers — but is grateful for the support Tracksmith has provided him, which includes covering travel, lodging, and gear.
“They kind of knew they’re kind of temporary,” Charleston said. “That’s the good thing about them. They help you where they can, how they can. That’s just more than I can ask for.”

Finally healthy in 2023, and with enough support from Tracksmith to focus on running full-time...
Personally I've always found their stuff to look kinda douchey, but I'll be buying my first piece this weekend to support them the same way they support pros that the big names don't.
