About us
Who We Are
We’re Ying & Dirk — co-founders of NO OPTION.
The brand was born when Dirk trained for his first marathon in Bangkok and realized the gear out there didn’t match the way we train, live, and move.
We refused to settle. Instead, we built what we couldn’t find — performance gear born in Bangkok, tested in the heat, and made for athletes everywhere.
What We Make
Premium men’s sportswear for running and hybrid training.
- Nylon-rich fabrics — breathable, lightweight, and durable.
- Hybrid fit — mobility for runs, stability for lifts.
- Smart details — phone-pocket liners, no-chafe seams, stay-up socks.
- Limited drops — small runs, designed for those who demand more.
Why We Exist
Because athletes everywhere deserve gear that matches their grit.
Not hype. Not shortcuts. Just world-class performance designed for progress.
Our vision: to build a global movement for hybrid athletes, starting in Bangkok and expanding worldwide.
Our Pillars
- Grit over hype → Show up every day. Progress, not excuses.
- Heat-tested → Designed for real conditions, not showrooms.
- Premium fabrics → Nylon-forward, breathable, built to last.
- Community first → From local shakeout runs to a global crew.
- Limited by design → Small drops, high intent, no compromises.
Community
We’re building more than product — we’re building a crew.
Our first community run kicks off in Bangkok, but the movement doesn’t stop there. Wherever athletes train with no option but to improve, that’s where we’ll be.
