ONDO Acquires Champion System for Performance Expansion

NEW YORK, Oct. 6, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- ONDO, Inc., the New York-based performance apparel and accessories company, today announced additional details surrounding its acquisition of Champion System, the global custom performance apparel brand. The acquisition marks ONDO's first transaction and brings together two performance-focused businesses with complementary strengths. Champion System will continue to operate as a distinct brand under ONDO, maintaining its focus on custom technical apparel and its existing relationships with athletes, teams, clubs, and partners globally.

Founded by Daniel Shim, ONDO has built its business around functional apparel and accessories designed to solve everyday performance problems. The acquisition represents the company's first step toward building a broader portfolio of performance brands while preserving the identity, expertise, and customer relationships that have made Champion System a trusted name among athletes and teams around the world.

Under ONDO's ownership, the focus will be on supporting Champion System's next stage of growth through investment in product development, digital experience, brand building, and customer acquisition, while maintaining the operational capabilities and technical expertise at the core of the business.

The acquisition also reflects a broader evolution of the company. What began as a direct-to-consumer brand focused on performance essentials is developing into a multi-brand platform with ambitions across the wider performance apparel category.

Founded in 2005, Champion System has served athletes across cycling, running, triathlon, and other sports for more than two decades, developing custom apparel for everyone from local clubs and amateur competitors to elite athletes and professional teams. Lever Style Corporation, Champion System's previous owner, announced the transaction on September 16. Lever Style will continue its relationship with Champion System and ONDO as a manufacturing and supply-chain partner, providing continuity across product development and production.

The acquisition represents an important milestone for ONDO as it expands beyond its original product categories and establishes a broader presence in performance apparel.
