The Enda Lapatet was recently unveiled on Kickstarter as a game-changing performance running shoe that boasts an ultra-lightweight, highly cushioned footwear design with a low drop and great value. The high-quality running shoes are created in Kenya, helping to powerfully equip the global running community and simultaneously support Kenya in multiple ways. Specifically, Enda was founded to support communities, drive economic development and celebrate Kenya, as seen in the design of the Lapatet, which includes subtle details like flag eyelets.
As part of its crowdfunding campaign, Enda is making its innovative footwear available to early supporters at highly discounted rates. During the first hours of the campaign, Enda rewarded those who pledged $90 or more with a pair of Lapatets, which have a retail value of $120. For the remainder of the campaign, similar perks can be picked up by early backers.
