Last night, we welcomed our brand partners, Ultra members, competition winners and the press to the SportsShoes.com HQ for a truly one-of-a-kind event as we hosted the only UK screening of Kilian Jornet’s latest film: 'Into The (Un)Known'. 🎬🏃🏻♀️ ⛰️ It was a privilege to hear about Kilian's incredible and emotional journey across the Pyrenees, which was undoubtedly the hardest challenge of his career to date. We were even treated to a live video Q&A with Kilian. 🎤 Thanks to all who made this amazing event possible, including brand partners NNormal, who also gave our guests a chance to see next season’s footwear and apparel. We’d also like to thank Jimmy's Iced Coffee, Firebrand Brewing Co and OTE Sports Ltd for their amazing refreshments. Interested in learning more about Kilian’s story?
