Company Highlights: 2020 Reflection

Our Mission is to be the world’s leader in natural running shoe technology and form, and to use our platform to advance social responsibility initiatives to help make the world a better place.

In 2020 there were no shortage of hurdles to overcome, but through it all -  the running community came together and so many positives took place. We are going to do some reflecting and take a look back at our highlights from the past year.

Thank you to all of our supporters - those who have been with us for one week, or one decade. We are so grateful to you for making all of this possible.
