Only a few months after its launch, the Berlin-based start-up WINQS receives the most prestigious award of the global sports industry, the ISPO Award 2022. The running shoe Zerofly™ had convinced the jury as an excellent and innovative sports product.
"Of course it is an important testimony to our work so far," says co-founder Jan Kratochvil. The ISPO Award, he says, is a seal of approval that the WINQS brand is not only driving sustainable change but also offering products of highest performance for ambitious athletes. Special thanks go to all partners and suppliers who helped develop the project with patience and innovation during this difficult time.
Specifically awarded was the flagship of the first collection, the WINQS Zerofly™- the world's first performance running shoe made with bio-based and recycled materials. Ultra-lightweight, optimally cushioned and equipped with unique technologies for fast and healthy runs. A holistic Repair, Reuse & Recycle program also helps to significantly extend the life of the shoe.
The award is also a signal to the trade, says co-founder Marek Brincil. "In addition to the further development of the products, we are now starting to build up a global network. After all, the goal is not only to establish a niche of ecologically conscious sports brands, but to change an entire industry.
