True Motion was founded in 2018 by Andre Kriwet, Prof. Dr. Gert-Peter Bruggemann, and Christian Arens. Although the company is relatively young, its founders bring over 64 years of combined experience in the footwear industry.
Both Andre and Peter have spent their careers at top brands Asics, Nike and Brooks, having developed trainers such as the Nike Pegasus (Bowerman Series), Brooks Ghost, and the Brooks Adrenaline. In fact, they invented the Guardrails that you see in today’s shoes.
True Motion’s aim was to create the best running experience for the runner and aim to reduce the most common injury at the knee. The research that was being published says 50% of runners were getting injured, despite having neutral, motion control and supportive trainers and of all injuries, 50% of them are found at the knee. True Motion’s Patent Pending U-TECH Technology reduces knee injuries by 49% and Achilles tendon injuries by 48%!
