ciele athletics

What started as a single cap designed to balance style and performance has grown into a global movement. Founded in Montreal in 2014 by Jeremy Bresnen and Mike Giles, Ciele Athletics redefined running headwear before expanding into high-performance apparel and accessories—all built for athletes, adventurers, and anyone drawn to movement.

The brand’s flagship store in Griffintown, designed by architect David Dworkind, is an extension of Ciele’s ethos: bold, functional, and effortlessly cool. Housed in a historic red-brick building, the space blends industrial grit with refined design—curved arches, herringbone oak floors, and lime-plastered walls that play with light and texture. The shop isn’t just retail; it’s a gathering point, with a community lounge where runners meet before and after hitting the pavement.
