Let's Change this Running System

The sports industry has a problem.
And we want to solve it.
The problem

The ecological footprint of the sports industry is a disaster

The sporting goods industry has many problems: for example, a toxic relationship with petroleum-based plastics, strategic overproduction, the absence of circular concepts or massive and constantly growing CO2 emissions.

But instead of changing the situation, conventional brands are not doing more than paying lip service. Supposedly green collections are launched, but nothing changes in the majority of products or in the way they are manufactured.

The solution

A sports brand that questions everything

Yet there are already materials, technologies and development processes that make a much more environmentally friendly sports industry possible. And that is why WINQS was founded.

We are the first running brand in the world to produce all our running shoes, textiles and accessories with plant-based or recycled materials, transparently, with responsibility for the climate and a holistic circular concept.

The story

Joining forces to change the sporting goods business.

Jan and Marek once faced each other as bitter opponents on the pitch. But somehow everything made more sense as a duo. So Jan lured his adversary to Berlin and the two became best friends.

Almost 15 years later, while both were working together for an international sports brand, they came up with the idea of doing what others only promise. The idea for WINQS was born.
