I'm a fan of Atreyu because *you* get why running matters to *me* and communicate it in a way other brands never could. A huge part of that is the transparency that you are able to communicate with. I know I'm rooting for an underdog, and things never look great for them in Act I, so censoring yourself when it comes to the struggles of being an underdog only undercuts what I love about the brand.
100% noted. Sounds like its time to practice unleashing the thoughts more fluidly. I'll make sure I don't hold back too much on the relevant "goodness" my brother speaks of. I am grateful for the momentum, my friend!!!
Yes, the struggles are real. What I got out of your rant today is that there are a lot of competing demands on our energy and time. It seems like we are all trying to figure it out as we go. And, that's enough; it's the journey, not necessarily the destination kind of thing. So that you know, you and your shoes have come together to support my quest to win the 50M and 100M at the senior games in 2025. I’m 64 years old, and I’m just getting started. Thank you and good luck on your journey!
Unreal... THIS is a bonafide intention!!! And you nailed it. Full speed on the quest for the W in the 50M and 100M. That sounds like a perfect endeavor ahead, and I am wishing you all the best from ATX as well, my friend. Thank you for the positivity and the momentum! _michael
My guy!!! I am confident that you're the same Luke who gave me the motivation to crush this one out immediately. Grateful for you, and looking forward to honing in on that underdog spirit!!!!! _michael
Keep on choppin! I am a fan and love the honest feedback here. You have a passion about your business and you are making it happen. You can see that and feel that in the business! You’ve earned a big fan. Looking forward to buying my first pair soon! Don’t stop 🤘🏻
Atreyu to make has always been to me a brand that does everything with intention, there’s so many brand out there and business for that matter, that just make shoes and sell them with having a purpose or place in peoples life. Like as someone that works at a fleet feet some of the shoes we have in the store, I sometimes question what brands are thinking when they release a shoe. So thank you for always being intentional.
Thanks for the positivity here, Carlos! Being intentional is definitely a result of making products that I need and want to use personally every day in my own routine... If it works for me and my pals (many who are elite runners and many who are beginner runners), then that is all that matters! Thank you again and wishing you well from here in ATX! _michael
Really like what your team is doing in Austin. Very much so. As far as these videos go or you...simple as this...I truly believe if our paths crossed in a park, on a run, Post Office, whatever...you would be easy to shoot the breeze with...about anything. All of you seem very real and that's huge! Want to add this...a number of years ago at races my path crossed with a couple of legends in the endurance athletics world and both "gave me The Heisman" so to speak, quickly deflected me and moved on. Although I wasn't a seasoned pro I was a solid amateur in my own right and admired or looked up to them. I'll put it this way...decades later I'm writing this...enough said 🤔...never forgot
The same thing happened to me at the Ironman in St George. I share the sentiment as an amateur as well with some of my heros who gave ht "the Heisman". I am grateful that you'd want to share this with me, and I will always strive to ensure that the company ethos can live up to this personal connection. I used to use the word "authenticity" a lot in our language, but then I heard it is more authentic to simply do authentic things. That was a big insight!
The underdog is about being different and unique. Do not worry about daft conformity even if it attracts certain audiences or success. Life is about the hard things! If you ever need help, I am always here. I too have thought how the superficial aspects of running have been in the attention of the media (body image, brands, beautiful landscapes, and other worldly ideas). I think for me when I abstract running to spirituality and other people as well, I remember the true importance the activity brings to my life. The impermanence of the other aspects reveals the state of many cultural values: hedonism, consumption, and almost an unintended guise of deception. Don't sleep on samsung.
Keep going, guys! You stand for something different to many of your competitors - and you've captured perfectly why I started and still enjoy running in this vid. You have a genuine desire to make something special, with a lot of heart going into your products. Stay true to that, as that's why I myself (and it appears like many others too) find your company so appealing. Hurry up and get your Race Model out ;-)
ONWARD indeed, my friend! My intention has become a bit more clear with a dose of public accountability... goes a long way, but I can't do it with out the feedback. So grateful for that! BTW: Almost time to throw the Race Model party! I am standing by for the call, but they should be right outside the port of houston and shortly thereafter trucked to Austin. I'll keep ya'll posted as it goes down, but I'm optimistic about the upcoming days for a delivery!
You got me, as Texan, I will be proud to run for the entire year with the race model as soon as I get it. I usually run in 1-2 races a month in Houston.
Lets goooo! From what I can tell from the tacker, they are about to hit the port of houston and we'll be unloading within the week. I can confirm as soon as they give me the official call! Can't wait to get them out there!
It may take some time, but keep moving forward, Mike. You talk, and we will listen. You make videos/vlogs, then we will watch. Atreyu gets the shoes out, then we will try them and give you the feedback. We are here.
PURE MOMENTUM!!! Let's keep this thing going, and see what we can accomplish with it. 100% wishing you well from here in Austin and humbled for the endeavor!!!
It’s hard to push through when you’re not 100% sure it’s gonna work out. That’s where I’m at right now. Keep chipping away, I know I’ll keep buying pairs as long as you make em.
Couldn't agree more, and every once in a while I (briefly) remember that figuring it out isn't necessarily the point. Nevertheless, it is a constant challenge to stay grounded!!! Grateful for you and wishing you well from here in ATX, Harrison!!!
Just purchased my first pair! So excited to get them in the mail this week :D I'll make sure to comment how I like them. I love hearing the authenticity of what it takes to run your business. I know you consider them 'rants' but I like hearing the nitty gritty into what goes into what you do. You are so authentic and inspiring, keep up the great work. Might be the underdog right now but one day you won't be!!!!! Sending good vibes
So grateful for the support, my friend! I can't wait to see what you think about the ride. If you need anything, don't hesitate to contact us about questions, etc. Nevertheless, I am thankful for your motivation to continue with this content!!!!

You should start a pre-sale of the “Race Model”
they're LIVE and ready for sale now!
