What happens when eco-sneakers meet eco-soda? A collaboration that tastes nice, looks great and makes something very special possible.

Together with Vöslauer, we are giving away an exclusive ekn sneaker that you can design according to your ideas! The lucky winners will receive their very own pair as a handmade one-off - a shoe that is guaranteed to be unique. And don't worry if you don't win the main prize: we're also giving away 20 Daisy White pairs among all participants!
Here's how it works:
1. Configure your shoe online
2. Enter the code from your Vöslauer Balance Juicy bottle
3. With a little luck, you'll soon be wearing your design on your foot

What connects us as brands is not only our high quality standards, but also our determination to make a difference. In a joint interview with Vöslauer, ekn founder Noel and Creative Director Marek talk about responsibility, design and why sustainability doesn't stop with materials. Here is a small preview:
Marek, as Creative Head - where do you get your inspiration from and how does it become a tangible design?
That differs greatly! At the forefront is pop culture: music, films, art. That's where the journey starts and I ask myself a lot of questions. Sometimes quite abstract: what would jazz look like as a shoe, sometimes quite rational: what makes a shoe perfect for a hot summer, or quite selfish: which shoe is missing in my wardrobe? Painting is also a great passion for me and my pictures often inspire the color choice of our shoes.

Whether you're a soda fan, sneakerhead or simply looking for your new favorite shoe - take the chance now to make a statement that is not only fashionable but also sustainable. We wish you lots of fun designing and keep our fingers crossed!
