ATLANTA - TelAve -- This week marks the first year anniversary for TRONUS; the first sneaker company owned by a professional female athlete. From a numbers standpoint what this disruptive brand has accomplished is worth noting. "I read that the leading company [in athletic footwear] sold $8,000 worth of running shoes during its first year in 1964. I calculated inflation, and that'd be a little over $70,000 today.", said COO - Cynthia Cureton-Robles. TRONUS surpassed that figure within its first 4 days of operation. Since, they've continued to prove that this is a brand to watch.

And that's just numbers. The numbers, impressive as they are, only draw the outline. The full picture of the TRONUS story is much more vibrant than sheer stats can express. TRONUS is owned by Santia Deck, a professional athlete and fitness trainer turned successful social media personality . . . and now CEO. Cureton-Robles, also Deck's business manager and mother, has been steadily expanding operations since the company's inception. They look to this upcoming year with excitement after a debut year that has held many impressive milestones. The company launched to an impressive pre-order period; successfully navigated international manufacturing and logistical challenges when even long-time supply chains were being squeezed by the effects of the pandemic; garnered celebrity nods; expanded their team; announced a brand ambassador program; added new products; and has been invited to a leading upcoming trade show in Las Vegas. TRONUS expects their sales to more than triple in the upcoming year as they expand their model to include more B2B and wholesale transactions. To date their success has been largely direct to consumer e-commerce via their own website, with only one boutique brick and mortar retailer carrying their products in the Atlanta area where the company is based. Even so, it's not like they were off to a slow start. And with news of Olympian Allyson Felix making her way into the ranks of footwear company owners, it seems Santia has started a trend! As the first woman athlete to own her own shoe company, she is happy to encourage fresh faces in the industry.
