Quotes

  • “We focus a lot on quality and design. At the end of the day, there is only so much you can do with an apparel product. To some extent, the goal of differentiation especiallyhere in Silicon Valley where it is driven a lot by a product solution mindset is not to ignore the different levels of tastes, different preferences. People like variety.” -Adam “The product just needs to be really high quality. I think if you are product-focused, it will speak for itself in a lot of ways.” -Adam “Coming across as and behaving as a product-focused company is highly differentiating. The way that the company talks about the product in addition to how it designs is important.” -Adam “I am not a zero-sum game person. What I would like to do is build a brand that over the next twenty years, I have relationships, as a company with customers who are with us for that entire time and figuring out ways to both incentivize that not just for us but also for the customer.” -Adam“I would really like to get more into events and creating an actual sense of community such as exercising together, doing charity, weekend runs and acting as friends.” -Adam“I bought my Myles blue everyday shorts right around the time that I started getting good and being able to go distances. Admittedly, very slowly and I’m not taking my shirt off, not going to GNC and winning competitions but I’ve done 13 half marathons and I have done all of them in my Myles shorts.” -Ben “The impact that the physical activity that I have done and the feeling of connection from the brand that I’ve had with Myles, personally of the time that I have discovered the product and how durable it’s been, has been very important to me.” -Ben
