mission

Empowering people to fly over the earth.

differentiation

Invented the maximalist running shoe category when every competitor was going minimal. The oversized midsole went from being mocked to being the most coveted silhouette in both running and fashion.

origin

Two trail runners in the French Alps, Nicolas Mermoud and Jean-Luc Diard, built maximally cushioned shoes because they wanted to fly downhill. The oversized sole was considered ugly until it became the most wanted silhouette in running.

founder philosophy

Time to fly. More cushion, more protection, more performance. Sometimes more is more.
