Meet Alexi
Alexi Pappas is more than an Olympian. She is a runner, filmmaker, writer, podcaster, and storyteller who inspires millions through her bold approach to sport and life. Nicknamed the “Renaissance Runner” by The New York Times, and the “Modern Athlete” by Outside Magazine, she holds the Greek national record in the 10,000 meters and competed at the 2016 Olympics. Off the track, she authored the bestselling memoir Bravey and created films that spark cultural conversations around mental health, resilience, and joy in motion.
How It Started
Our paths crossed with Alexi years ago, and her fearless energy and love of running aligned with everything we believe at Feetures. She has joined us at events, has visited our offices, and shares the same spirit of movement that drives our brand.
For Alexi, Feetures was already part of her journey:
“For years I’ve found comfort and support in Feetures. It is the sock I rely on every day, from training to relaxing at home. They have been with me through many of my biggest moments, including the Leadville 100 in 2023, my first 100-mile race. I knew these socks were different when I got through the entire race without changing them once.”
That trust made it natural to deepen the relationship and collaborate on a design that captured Alexi’s mantra and Feetures’ commitment to performance innovation.
The Ideal Partner
At Feetures, we believe people were not meant to sit still. We are meant to move, explore, and feel alive. Alexi embodies that belief in everything she does. She does not just run to compete. She runs to connect, grow, and inspire. Her voice reminds us that movement is more than exercise. It is how we navigate challenges, celebrate joy, and keep pushing toward what matters.
Bravey Sock
Together, we created something special: the Bravey Sock. Named after Alexi’s bestselling book and mantra, it represents boldness, vulnerability, and the courage to chase what moves you. Designed with Alexi’s input and engineered with Feetures’ Targeted Compression and Anatomical Design, the Bravey Sock delivers a Custom-Like Fit with a fearless twist.
