About Us

Trying to find fun and crazy running wear for our son, we realised that there was a huge gap in the market. So we set out to design high energy and colourful running wear for kids, as well as adults. Lots of chats and research later, Cardio Kingz and Cardio Queenz was born.
 

We believe running gear should lift you up, not weigh you down—with price tags or anything else. That’s why at Cardio Kingz, we create vibrant, performance-driven apparel that’s built to move and made to last, at nearly half the price of other premium brands. Every piece is designed and tested by us, runners, for runners, so you can count on quality, comfort, and bold style with every stride.

But we’re more than just great gear, we’re a movement. A community of runners, movers, motivators, and everyday legends chasing goals and cheering each other on. Whether you’re training for your first 5K or just lacing up to clear your head, we’re with you every step.

Let’s Move. Let’s Motivate. Let’s Rule The Run.

So, join us and add some serious fun to your workout with Cardio Kingz and Cardio Queenz.
