Pair of Thieves

?? What an incredible day at DICK'S Sporting Goods for our Any Given Funday event! ?? From underwear sprints to touchdown tosses to bear races, we had a blast bringing our Pittsburgh community together for some fun and friendly competitions. A huge shoutout to the DICK'S Sporting Goods team and everyone who came out to help make this event a roaring success!

Would you rather be stuck in a forest with a man or a bear? This question set media ablaze with thought-provoking commentary and controversy. It all stemmed from TiKTok account Screenshot HQ asking women on the street this question. In the video, the preference for being stuck in a forest with a bear wins out handily. This lopsided count is followed by an avalanche of comments on the post, most of which seem to echo that preference. Some of the over 80,000 comments responding to the post touch on issues of violence against women, patriarchal injustices, and general toxic masculinity. Many in the comments and in the media pointed to the rise of influencers who propagate ideas of misogyny and toxic male behavior as a fuel source for the fears. As a brand who speaks to men and is represented by a bear, we thought we should let the bear have his say. Working with LA based creative agency, DANG we created a series of video content pieces aimed at combating some of the toxic masculine tropes of the moment. We wanted to share easy means for men to show up in the world in healthy and positive ways. Rather than try to collide head-on with the alpha-male, manosphere movement, our approach was to commandeer the vehicle. We took its loud, ultra-aggressive posturing and shoved it in a poorly ventilated bear costume to ultra-aggressively promote ideas of empathy, solidarity, and mindfulness. The results are video vignettes we hope serve as a reminder that men can be a force for good in the world. Given the choice between an encounter with a six-hundred-pound grizzly and decent guy, hopefully the scoreboard can start to even out. Check out the videos on our Instagram: @pairofthieves

?? ATTN LinkedIn ???? Our Bear is on the loose, leading the rebellion against bland and boring clothing! We're thrilled to announce the launch of our 2024 Brand Campaign, “Escape Basic.” This campaign embodies our decade-long mission: to empower people to break free from their uninspired, basic clothing and embrace extraordinary comfort with Pair of Thieves. Check out the Escape Basic video below. Massive shoutout to our agency partner HAYMAKER for helping us bring this vision to life ????

Reflecting on his journey as an entrepreneur, Alan Stuart shares how life, work, and teaming up with Cash Warren and David Ehrenberg altered his perspective on philanthropy.

*slams laptop shut ‘til next year* Before we officially enter hibernation, our founders offer their take on an event-filled year: “So much unseen work goes into creating and launching a new product. So, when SuperCool finally hit stores this fall, we all felt many things: nerves, excitement, relief, and even a little nostalgia for the time we spent hunkered down, getting this over the finish line. SuperCool’s our most ‘advanced’ line yet and, hopefully, is helping set a new standard for what sport gear can look and feel like.” –Cash Warren “This year alone, our GoodFits collection accomplished a shit-ton to be proud of. We gave over $175,000 to partner charities including The Trevor Project, Baby2Baby, and Bring Change to Mind (BC2M). We donated over 500,000 pairs of socks to people in need—that’s over 3,000,000 to date! Our National Sock Day (a holiday we created) campaign raised over $25,000 for charity in 2 days, thanks, in part, to our appearance on the Kelly Clarkson Show!” —Alan Stuart “We are incredibly proud to have continued our growth, despite the challenging market and economy. Next year will be exciting, especially as we gear up to celebrate the company’s 10th anniversary! We have some sneaky surprises planned which we can’t wait to share with you all.” —David Ehrenberg Happy New Year to our amazing community and please, take some time off from LinkedIn. Much Love, Pair of Thieves
