The Story
The founder of Infinite Running is a runner himself and needed new running shoes every 2-3 months. He wanted to tackle this problem and experimented in his grandmother's garden with a shoe with a replaceable sole, because with average running shoes the sole was already completely unusable after 500-750km, but the upper shoe was still as good as new. After several prototypes and bloody feet, the Infinite One was born. It has been manufactured and sold in Germany since summer 2020. The Infinite One is sustainably produced, 100% vegan and fairly produced.
Success Factor | Hero Moment
The best moment was when the Infinite One passed 100,000 km on a running platform and it became clear that the shoe could really be used as long as it was intended.
