The Panache Power Wired Sports Bra (style 5021) is an underwire sports bra aimed at fuller busts, and it is a long-standing recommendation for large-bust high-impact support. Panache's US page lists it at $84 and positions it for DD+ cups. The page gives little else, so this review is limited by what we could verify. Treat fit and feature details as unconfirmed and check a size guide before you order.

Fit and sizing
Panache's US page positions the bra for DD+ and does not list a size chart. A Walmart marketplace listing shows band and cup combinations such as 28H, 32E and 36B, with 19 sizes, so the range is wide. Because it is cup-sized, fit comes down to band and cup, not alpha sizing. Bra-fitter guidance usually recommends being professionally measured.
Fabric and feel
The Panache page does not list fabric composition. A marketplace listing marked as AI-generated describes wide padded straps, smooth molded cups, a firm underband, silicone-wrapped underwires and flat seams. We treat that as unverified. We also could not confirm the closure on Panache's own page, though sports bras of this type typically use a back hook.
How it performs for running
Reviewers and fit guides commonly recommend Panache's wired sports bra for runners with larger busts, because underwires and a firm underband help control motion. We cannot confirm that on Panache's own page, so rely on cup-sized fit guidance. For another encapsulation option with a stated 90-day trial, see the Brooks Dare Underwire. Our best sports bras for a large bust page covers more.
Price and value
The US page lists $84. A Walmart marketplace listing showed $78. That is higher than most bras here, but cup-sized high-impact bras tend to cost more. If you prefer to avoid underwire, the Nike Indy High Support is $55 at full price.
Alternatives
For a cheaper, alpha-sized high-support bra, see the Gymshark High Support V-Neck. For medium impact in D-DD+, see the Athleta Ultimate D-DD+.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you dislike underwire, want a pull-on bra, or are under DD.

A long-recommended underwire option for DD+ runners, with limited official detail. Buy it if you need maximum control and are willing to size carefully with a fit guide. Skip it if you dislike underwire, want a pull-on, or want fully confirmed specs before buying.

Panache's US page lists only price ($84) and 'DD+' positioning; fabric, closure, sizes not stated. Feature list (wires, J-hook) from a Walmart marketplace listing marked AI-generated, so treat as unverified; closure hook is an assumption from retailer images. Retailer lists band/cup combos such as 28H to 36B.
