Salming - ISPO Award Winner 17/18!

Salming Trail5 has been announced as winner in the category Performance - Trail Running Footwear! 45 judges from 13 countries and two continents discussed all applications and selected the awardees. ”This is an acknowledgement and confirmation of Salming heading the right way when entering the trail running segment and we are very proud to be selected” says Thomas Nord, Head of Design & Creative Director at Salming.

Every year, ISPO honors the most exceptional sporting goods with the ISPO AWARD. A jury consisting of independent sports business professionals evaluates several hundred entries – also from non-exhibitors – following clearly defined criteria. This premium selection presents a welcome orientation for both sports business professionals as well as end-consumers. It serves as a reference for retailers when choosing their upcoming product range; to end-consumers, it is seen as an important purchase argument. Both trust the jury's neutral decision.
