Performance-driven design - LITERARY SPORT, founded by avid runners and readers Mark Bechara and Deirdre Matthews, stands for high-performance running wear – functional garments that perfectly complement your sport. The expertly tailored, focused collections are designed with attention to detail and perfectly support the rhythm of your activity.

'In the ways a novel might lend shape to a plotless day, movement opens us up to possibility; to discover what's on the other side of our effort.'
"Our collection is a concise edit of running wear and complementary pieces, offering evolved expressions of classic and high-performance forms, developed with a focus on how meaningful details, exceptional fabrication, and understated silhouettes can inspire physical pursuits." Mark and Deirdre, Founders of Literary Sports.
'To find a route to clarity. To awaken an inner idea. To elevate a way of being. To question your limitations. Your reason is your own; to step forward is to be somewhere different than before.'
Deirdre told how it all began in 2022 on jenniferalfano.substack.com: "My business partner M. Bechara and I met at our kid's pre-school. We were both running a lot at the time, and we would often talk about running gear. He always wanted to start a running line but couldn't find the time. Fast forward to 2022, post covid, we crossed paths on 'March Break' in California. We were swimming with us kids, and he just said, ‘I’m ready’.”
Et voilà - Literary Sport was born and the label immediately found its niche: performance clothing for intellectuals.
