🚶♂️👟 究極の歩きやすさを実現したスイス発のハイテクシューズブランドGNL日本初上陸🚶♀️👟 Get ready, Japan! A new Swiss brand will soon land on our shores and it's bringing the future of walking to your feet. Meet GNL, a game-changing, high-tech footwear brand from Switzerland, Land of the Future Engineering. Here’s the story: The founder started out by creating a sole perfect for running, but not quite cutting it for your everyday stroll. In 2009, he sold his previous patent to On Running (yes, the one who became an absolute hit) and continued to develop a sole that would slide easily when placed on the ground but would also provide a firm push-off. The acronym for this unique functionality is " Glide'n Lock". GNL decided to pivot and fully embrace a holistic, three-dimensional, regenerative approach to health. This is footwear for everyday use that focuses on the WHOLE you.  🌍 Now, it's Japan's turn to experience the ultimate walking comfort revolution. But for those who can’t wait… and happen to be in Zurich, check it out! GNL is available at the Best of Switzerland store at Zurich Airport Ltd, and look around! About 300 airport employees are rocking their specially developed ZRH sneakers. 👟 Stay tuned for the grand launch in Japan! 👀 Eric Braunschweiler Thank you for meeting us in Tokyo! All the best and every success! #GNLFootwear #SwissInnovation #WalkingRevolution #FootwearTech #ZurichAirport #ZRHSneakers #bestofswitzerland #madeforwalking
