Janji

United States · Apparel & Fashion

Janji is a socially-conscious athletic apparel company founded in 2012 by Michael Burnstein and David Spandorfer, based in Boston, Massachusetts. The brand specializes in running gear and is dedicated to supporting global humanitarian efforts, particularly in expanding access to clean water in underserved communities. The name "Janji" means "promise" in Malay, reflecting the company's commitment to social impact. Janji offers a range of technical running apparel, including shirts, shorts, and accessories, designed for performance. Each product features unique patterns inspired by the cultures and landscapes of partner countries such as Haiti, Kenya, Peru, and Rwanda. The company collaborates with local artists and fabric makers to create regionally inspired designs. A portion of sales—5% from each country-specific product line—funds clean water projects in those regions, partnering with organizations like Water.org and Living Water International. Janji primarily targets runners who value ethically produced gear and are interested in brands with transparent humanitarian commitments. The company distributes its products through over 200 specialty running stores worldwide and maintains a strong presence in the running community.
