K1X Collectionbook 2008 Versus

„ VERSUS“

Fall Winter 2008 09

The dynamics of creation bear a natural cycle of confrontation, which aims to elevate quality as a whole.

In other words, you are only as strong as your competition makes you. No improvement without friction no sweat, no nothin‘.

K1X took the fundamental laws of nature to extremes „ with the accomplishment of vs.“, a fall winter collection built around stimulating polar forces, which - like a battery embody juxtaposition in perfection. Material-, colorand pattern-confrontations as well as conceptual clashes like „country club vs. the projects“ and „past vs. present“, bring out the best of both worlds, taking the game to the next level, like only a beaten sporting phrase can.

The only difference being, that in this case, it‘s anything but a theoretical achievement.

Play hard, don‘t embarrass our products.

he second coming of the K1X Chiefglider is here. The CG 2 was built with the serious indoor/outdoor ballplayer in mind. This shoe takes K1X D.N.A. (an ultra low and wide stance) to the next level. It sports the extended heel sole concept to give you maximum power for takeoff.
