Kiprun Running Shoes

Kiprun is a high-performance running brand that originated within Decathlon, the French sporting goods giant. Initially launched as a specific model under the Kalenji brand, it evolved into its own specialized label to cater to competitive and long-distance runners. The name 'Kiprun' is a contraction of 'Keep on Running.'

Production for Kiprun footwear takes place in several countries, predominantly across Asia in hubs like Vietnam, China, and Indonesia, which is standard for technical athletic footwear. The brand remains a key pillar of Decathlon's vertical integration strategy, where they design, manufacture, and distribute their own products to maintain affordability without compromising on technical standards. Ownership has always remained with the Association Familiale Mulliez through Decathlon, ensuring the brand stays rooted in its French corporate heritage while serving a global market.
