About ERKE
ERKE is the sports brand of the Hongxing Erke group, founded on 8 June 2000, with operations centred in Xiamen and production bases in Quanzhou and Anhui, China. Within a few years it became one of the country's best-known integrated sports brands, with complete lines of footwear, apparel and accessories for sport and lifestyle, and it listed on the Singapore stock exchange in 2005.
The brand built its reputation by combining product and sponsorship: it sponsored foreign Olympic teams, was named designated footwear sponsor of tennis events such as the WTA Guangzhou tournament, and partnered with federations and events inside and outside China. Its research and development centre works on proprietary technologies for running, basketball and tennis shoes, with milestones such as the α-FLEX line and its E.K-LAB future laboratory, created in the brand's twentieth anniversary year.
ERKE distributes its products in dozens of countries across Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and the Americas, with thousands of stores and trademark rights registered in more than one hundred countries. Its international English-language site presents the history, milestones and collections of a brand that aims to establish itself as a global sports reference from its Chinese base.
