Unlimited collaboration for a limited edition

If DECATHLON regularly co-designs products with athletes, this collaboration stands out for the intensity of the work achieved together and the particular status of Teddy Riner in the world of the brand. Effectively, the different steps of the design process took place in parallel with the athlete’s preparation of our Team Athlètes for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, giving a special character to the product itself. In the words of the judo champion himself: “We don’t achieve anything without effort. To progress, you have to surpass yourself while training and constantly pushing your limits. Otherwise you stay where you are.” The shoes were co-created especially for this surpassing.
