VEJA's Sport Development Manager - Jean Pourrat

🎤 Hosts: 

Lloyd Kempson - https://www.instagram.com/lloydkempson

Episode Highlights:

Welcome back to the show with host Lloyd Kempson who is joined this week by Jean Pourrat for a very insightful interview. Jean is a runner through and through training for the Paris Marathon and aiming for a sub 2:30. He’s a running shoe expert and the Sport Development Manager for the footwear brand VEJA. On today's episode we discuss and delve into their latest running shoe release, The Condor 3. We were sent the shoe a few weeks ago and have been baning a few miles in them so it was super interesting to understand the process behind making them and some of the tech and specification behind the numbers.

We talk about sustainability and what that means when making a shoe in 2024, where The Condor 3 fits into the current market amongst the big brands like Nike and Adidas and how you can use the shoe in your running rotation.

The Condor 3 is available to buy in the UK for an RRP of £160 from selected retailers.
