Athletic Brewing Company and Kane Footwear Announce Collaboration

July 28, 2022

Two sustainability-focused companies join forces to release limited-edition recovery shoe

Stratford, CT and San Diego, CA (July 28, 2022)/OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – Athletic Brewing Company, leading non-alcoholic brewery and one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential Companies 2022, and Kane Footwear, the premiere renewably-sourced active recovery footwear brand, today announce their partnership in creating a limited-edition recovery shoe that features the colorway of Athletic’s signature non-alcoholic IPA, Run Wild. The collaboration is a symbol of both brands’ shared commitment to making the world a better place, through better brews and better shoes.

The CEOs of both companies were brought together over a shared beer and a shared passion for creating a more sustainable world. “If we don’t start acting in a sustainable manner, we’re going to lose our chance at great outdoor adventures and sports forever,” explains Bill Shufelt, Co-Founder and CEO of Athletic Brewing Company. “At Athletic, we love that Kane’s products are made sustainably from Brazilian starches and that they ship exclusively in FSC-certified packaging.”

Shufelt can also speak from experience as to how Kane’s footwear is tailored for all elements of an active lifestyle — whether it’s post-workout, or kicking back at the lake on a rest day. “I can 100% tell the difference between when I do and don’t wear my Kanes after long runs. They have just the right balance of comfort and support to promote athletic recovery while keeping me going,” says Shufelt.

“We’re excited to partner with Athletic Brewing to release a shoe inspired by a like-minded brand that’s dedicated to athlete recovery,” John Gagliardi, Founder and CEO of Kane Footwear, said. “We love that Athletic Brewing lets athletes treat themselves to tasty craft beer, while skipping out on the negative impacts that alcohol can have on the body – you can still have the best of all worlds. One of our biggest goals at Kane Footwear is making sure that our customers wake up the next morning ready to perform, and we love that Athletic Brewing is tied to the same mission.”

The Athletic Brewing x Kane collaboration Revives are engineered and crafted for recovery, featuring Kane’s sugarcane-based BounceBack^TM foam, which helps reduce greenhouse gasses by capturing the CO2 sequestered during the sugarcane’s growth process in the foam materials. The navy upper and yellow sole display the color and spirit of Athletic’s Run Wild IPA. The shoe is also washable, quick-drying and ultra-durable to move with you whether you’re recovering from a long run or exploring the city.

The limited-edition shoe retails for $85 and is available for purchase at AthleticBrewing.com and KaneFootwear.com, while supplies last. To stay tuned on future collaboration updates, make sure to follow Athletic Brewing on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube.
