At Run Legacy, we're always on the lookout for brands that align with our core values of sustainability, performance, and community. That's why we're thrilled to introduce you to Zen Running Club, a revolutionary footwear company that's changing the game in sustainable running shoes.

A shared vision for sustainable running

When we first encountered Zen Running Club, we knew we'd found something special. Like us, they believe that great running gear shouldn't come at the expense of our planet. Their commitment to creating high-performance running shoes using plant-based materials isn't just impressive – it's revolutionary.

Founded by running industry veterans who saw the need for truly sustainable running footwear, Zen Running Club has developed shoes that prove you don't have to choose between performance and environmental responsibility. Their innovative approach uses materials like sugarcane-based cushioning, eucalyptus fiber uppers, and natural rubber outsoles to create shoes that perform brilliantly while treading lightly on our planet.

Beyond the eco-friendly hype

But Zen Running Club isn't just another brand jumping on the eco-friendly bandwagon. Their dedication to sustainability goes deep into their DNA. Every component of their shoes is carefully selected not only for its environmental impact but also for its performance capabilities. The result? Running shoes that feel as good on your feet as they do on your conscience.

The FUTUREone is one of ‘Runner’s World’ favourite 20 shoes of 2024. 

‘This fast, responsive model is made with a new midsole which has the highest bio content of any performance foam, including enzymes that help the shoe degrade in landfill. Most importantly, these shoes are built to last, proving that sustainable doesn't mean sacrificing durability.’
