GNL – GLIDE’N LOCK

We at Båstadgruppen proudly introduce a new brand to our House of Brands. The Swiss brand GNL was founded in 2016, but the technology of the shoes was created much earlier than that. Read more about the brand below.

GNL’s revolutionary 360°Walk design

The unique GNL soles work according to the patented Glide’n Lock™ principle, which means that the shoes have innovative cushioning elements that adapt in 360° movements in the sole. This is made possible by grooves around the elements and air chambers in the midsole, which allow the elements to return on impact.

The result is a minimisation of initial impact and micro-shocks on the body upon landing, while ensuring a smooth transition to an energy-saving push-off.
