Through this partnership, S&S Activewear will initially offer nine of Legends’ best-selling styles, spanning performance and lifestyle categories designed for training, travel, and everyday wear. The effort further strengthens its position in the athleisure market and expands its offering of versatile, high-value products at accessible prices.

By offering it exclusively, we’re giving our customers a distinct competitive edge.”

Founded in 2019 in Los Angeles, Calif., Legends quickly emerged as a standout brand at the intersection of sports, culture, and fashion. It’s developed strong ties to professional athletes and is known for premium apparel designed for both elite and everyday competitors.

Starting in June, S&S Activewear customers will have access to the following Legends men’s styles:

  • Enzo Collection (short and long sleeve tees)

All products feature the Legends logo, creating elevated co-branding opportunities for customers. Additionally, the Legends collection is designed for versatility, incorporating high-performance features like moisture-wicking fabrics, four-way stretch, and modern athletic fits.

“Partnering with S&S marks a major step forward for Legends as we expand our wholesale footprint,” said Scott Hochstadt, Founder and CEO of The Legends Brand. “This collaboration allows us to bring our elevated take on athleisure and sportswear to a broader team and corporate channel that have been craving something authentic—truly rooted in sport, with unmatched quality. At our core, Legends is built alongside some of the biggest athletes in the world who are invested in the brand at every level, and that perspective is reflected in every product we create. We’re excited to work with a partner like S&S that understands the importance of presenting and protecting our brand as we continue to grow.”
