🎉🏃‍♂️ HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JUAN! 🏃‍♂️🎉
This past Saturday, we celebrated the man, the myth, the legend with an incredible community run surrounded by our favorite brands, run clubs, friends, and family. And it was all in a theme of one of his favorite nerd books.
If you’ve ever walked into the store and thought, “How does he know exactly what shoe I wear?” — we’re convinced Juan has some kind of Rain Man superpower. Favorite shoe? Check. Size? Check. What you bought three years ago? Somehow also check.
Juan loves two things more than running: his family and helping people find the perfect pair of shoes. Running is also his preferred method of stress relief after spending time with his two teenage daughters. Coincidence? We think not. 😂
As the leader of our team, the store simply doesn’t function without him. Need a decision made? Ask Juan. Need inventory found? Ask Juan. Need to remember a customer’s shoe size from 2019? Definitely ask Juan.
Thank you for everything you do for our community, our team, and everyone who walks through our doors.
Happy Birthday, Juan! We hope your day is filled with family, miles, cake, and absolutely zero teenage drama. 🎂🎈👟
