S/o how do you pronounce Athleta?

It’s like athletic.

I've heard it both ways.. but typically the long e is more associated with higher class.

Yeah.

Cause, only if "higher class" makes a habit of being wrong. The company has said it's a short e.

But no one says Ath - Let. It’s Athlete.
So I’m going to keep saying Athlete-Ah.

Athlet-a is so pretentious.

It's also correct. Can't change that -- it's a company name.
