Our story

A journey through time spanning almost 100 years.

1927

Founding of Künzli

Werner Künzli opens his first studio in Trimbach. There, he produces ski and sports boots, and soon models for football and ice skating. Thus begins the story of a brand that has shaped sports from the very beginning.

The five stripes

Künzli invents a lacing system with five stripes extending from the floor to the lacing. These provide support for the foot and make our sports shoes unmistakable. This detail becomes a symbol that accompanies us to this day.

On the playing fields

Innovation in sports

Künzli developed new technologies such as the sandwich sole, air cushioning, and stabilizers. This resulted in shoes that were gentle on joints and made sports easier. Many of these ideas were far ahead of their time.
