Making a Name in the Activewear Market: The Rise of Berlin-Based Brand Ante
Less than two years since its debut, Ante has quickly become a sought-after name in the activewear market. Founded by Marcus Butler, Julian Weigl, and Christian Zellin, this Berlin-based brand has made a name for itself with its clean-cut performance apparel and progressive edge.
Blurring the lines between sports and fashion, Ante’s streamlined silhouettes and technical components have captured the attention of runners across Europe. But it doesn’t stop there – the brand has also started to make its way into everyday wear, solidifying its place as a versatile and stylish choice for any occasion.
Introducing Forward Wear: Ante’s New Line of Ready-to-Wear Running Garments
Last year, Ante took its creative vision to the next level with the launch of Forward Wear. This line of elevated essentials includes breathable and quick-drying vests, lightweight shorts, and more, all featuring the brand’s signature sleek and Berlin-inspired style.
From racetracks to campaigns, Forward Wear has been making waves in the running community, offering a refined uniform for dedicated runners. And now, the brand is giving us a behind-the-scenes look at its design process with an intimate brand portrait.
Inside the Ante Studio: A Glimpse at the Brand’s Creative Process
Located on Kurfürstenstraße in Mitte, Ante’s Berlin studio is where the magic happens. In a series of visuals shot by resident collaborator Sonjay Williams, we get a glimpse of the three founders in action – creating mood boards, cutting up samples, and bringing their ideas to life.
Through an unfiltered lens, these visuals reflect Ante’s unfussy and forward-thinking style, giving us a deeper understanding of the brand’s ethos and creative process.
More Than Just an Apparel Brand: Ante’s Unique Creative Community
But Ante is more than just an apparel brand – it’s also a community. Filled with individuals who share a passion for both running and Berlin culture, this brand has fostered a unique creative community that helps to shape its fashion-meets-sports vision.
One of Ante’s most notable partners is adidas, and the two brands recently joined forces at The Speed Project. A collective of runners were given the opportunity to test out the latest Ante gear, along with the new Adizero EVO SL, showcasing the brand’s commitment to innovation and collaboration.
