Cadent started with running. What began as a simple way to clear our heads turned into something bigger, a routine that taught us discipline, consistency, and the value of small, steady progress. The name comes from cadence, the rhythm of your stride, and for us, it became the perfect way to capture what this brand is all about: finding your pace, sticking with it, and moving forward with purpose.
Cadent was built from the ground up, literally. It started with a few runs on quiet footpaths and empty trails, just a way to clear our heads before or after busy days. Over time, those runs became routine. They shifted from being something we "fit in" to something we relied on. It wasn’t just about fitness anymore; it gave us structure to our day. Naturally it kind of taught us discipline, the kind you start to build in those ordinary, everyday moments when you show up even if you don’t feel like it.
Somewhere along the way, the word cadence stuck with us. In running, it’s your rhythm, the steady beat of each step that keeps you moving forward. But for us it began feeling a bit bigger than running. It became a way to describe how we wanted to show up everyday.
From there, Cadent began to take shape in small, simple ways. Early morning runs turned into chats about how our consistent training and running was changing how we thought and felt. Those conversations turned into ideas: what if we built something around this? What if we created some cool gear that reflected that rhythm and mindset?
That is quite literally where we started. Two siblings sketching out designs, testing samples, and wearing the very first prototypes on our own runs and training sessions. We wanted something lightweight and breathable that actually worked for how we moved. Slowly, those early ideas became the foundation for Cadent.
For us, Cadent isn’t about chasing perfection or keeping up with trends. It’s about the steady progress that comes from consistency—the kind you build run by run, session by session. What began as our own routine has turned into something much bigger, and we hope it connects with anyone who’s ever found clarity, discipline, or even just a little peace through movement.
That same belief is also why we’ve partnered with Beyond Blue.
