We want you all to look good in 2023 when you’re out there running. Running is special because it’s the most basic and accessible sport, but it’s incredibly liberating. And there are a ton of top-tier running brands that make incredible gear to help you look and feel your best.

I'm personally a big runner - I've been running ever since I was 14 years old - and have tried almost every brand's gear out there. So when it comes to finding the best running brands on the market that you should check out, I've got you covered.

The roots of today's running brand phenomenon trace back to a surge of popularity in the 1970s. This time marked the emergence of many prominent running brands that have since become synonymous with top-tier performance and innovation.

More recently, the top running brands have started to marry function with style, forging coveted collaborations with brands like Asics, On, and Hoka.

In this article, I'll break down the top 12 running brands today that you should check out. These are all based on research I've done into the brand, their product quality and their trendiness in the running world this year.

I consulted my professional running friends and my running coaches to come up with my list of the best running brands - let's get started.
