EAW has been made and produced in the USA for all our performance practice wear. We are not mass manufactured, all fabric is hand cut and sewn on sewing machines by hand by our amazing manufacturing team in Dallas, TX.
Elevate Athletic wear was founded in 2022, however our roots and first products date back to 2010 in Dallas, Texas under the name CrazyPants. Julie, the founder, wanted to create fun and cute spandex shorts for her daughters and their teammates at their All-Star Gym.
Elevate’s first products were sold right on the floor of a gym in Frisco, TX. From there it took off and Julie brought on her sister Bonnie to help her grow the brand. In summer of 2015, Julie and Bonnie hosted the first “CrazyPants Big Event and Model Search”.
In March of 2020, when the live events industry shut down, Julie and Bonnie decided it was a good time to transition the brand. On June 1st, 2021, longtime employee, Zac, took over as brand manager.
Elevate has continued to grow by adding new items that are hand designed to get the best fit and feel and continue to be produced right here in the UNITED STATES.
Elevate Athletic Wear may be a new name, but their products are still some of the leading practice wear for cheerleaders, dancers, and gymnasts in all 50 states, as well as Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Great Britain and Canada. A global company with the same small business character that all started on the floor of a gym in 2010.
