What to know about pynrs
Built out of a run crew
Founder Sidney Baptista started PIONEERS Run Crew before the label, and the clothing follows from that: technical running kit cut and graphic-printed like streetwear.
Full training kit, extended sizes
Tees, singlets, crop tops, sports bras, lined shorts, wind layers and caps, made in recycled, stretch and odor-resistant fabrics across a wider size range than most run brands.
Black-owned and community-funded
The brand ran an equity crowdfunding campaign in 2025, and pairs its own 17-piece FW25 range with a Brooks collaboration at accessible prices.
