History
Paris, 2019. Alex Auroux and Martin Lesieur, techwear enthusiasts, fed up with greenwashing in running. Nike, Adidas, Asics dominate everything - and nobody offers a real European, responsible alternative. The idea sprouted on a beach during Romain's run, facing waste on the sand. Circle Sportswear is born from that frustration. High-performance technical clothing, 65 to 100% recyclable, made in France and Portugal with exclusively European materials (Italy, Germany, France, Spain, Ireland). B-Corp certified in 2023 with an exceptional score of 96.5/100. First 75% biosourced shoe: the SuperNatural Runner, compostable upper and 100% recyclable sole. Free lifetime repair, shoes lasting 400-600km longer. The brand is young but ambitious: Marie-José Pérec ambassador, 4.5 million people mobilized via 'Qui veut être mon associé?'. In a monolithic market, Circle is the grain of sand that disrupts.
