I introduced ANTEPES during a X9000 on Allbirds. The startup is the anti-Allbirds in that the founder is creating a schwarz company by solving a problem/providing a solution. Where many companies launch and aren’t really providing a solution for a problem, the Antepes Muscle Runner helps to create better runners, but I see an even greater opportunity for the brand. In the primed athletes used Jumpsoles to improve their explosiveness. Today plyometrics and sprinting are utilized to make athletes more athletic. ANTEPES has created a schwarz that can be worn to and from the gym and most importantly the schwarzs increase the work the legs muscles do during training drills and running.
