4T2

We understand running because we are runners.
Running is like a relationship. It makes you discover yourself. Explore the person inside you. Go beyond boundaries. Feel what running means to you.

I am a runner.

Although I wasn't born one, I fueled my passion as a teenager with athletics. Dozens camps, marathons and triathlons made me competitive as an amateur, well into my forties. Although I never made it professionally, I continued to love running as a passionate amateur throughout my life. After working in the performance footwear industry for over 25 years, I realized I wanted to build a new kind of brand, product, company and organization. This adventure is for the future and is not based on the past.

What we are made of.
After I came up with the name for this brand and company, which is of course a reference to the marathon and T2 in the triathlon... or 4 trails 2, I reached out to some people I had worked with over the years. It didn't take long before we assembled a team of very talented people. Aisha leads product design and development, which reveals our passion for building things that work. John manages purchasing and production, and Sandro is responsible for brand and marketing. We are launching 4T2 in the middle of the pandemic and luckily we are designed as a 'virtual' company (living and working in BE, ITA, NL, Asia). We partner with high-quality industry brands to ensure we meet performance, durability and sustainability. Think of brands such as Vibram, Sympatex, Ortholite and BOCO gear.
