Founded in 2009, Ayacucho began with a simple but lasting idea: to create quality outdoor gear while supporting communities in need. Named after the Ayacucho region in Peru, the brand was established by two friends with a shared purpose — to design products that perform in real life while contributing to something bigger. Through its partnership with Solid International, Ayacucho has helped build social enterprises in Peru, Kenya, and India, and continues to donate 1% of its revenue to support these initiatives.
That same purpose-driven ethos now extends into running for the first time. As a natural evolution of the brand’s journey, the new collection is built around durable, functional design that supports everyday movement, training, and outdoor performance. The launch reflects Ayacucho’s commitment to creating accessible, purposeful kit that helps more people get outside.
