Decathlon has signed a partnership with Henan Prosper & Colomer to develop “long-term” projects and strategies for “comfortable, durable and sustainable sports footwear”. The signing of the agreement (in photo from LinkedIn) marks “a new chapter” in the relationship between the French athleisure brand and Reshine, the footwear division of the Chinese group. The fact that Henan Prosper & Colomer offers control over the entire supply chain, from materials (thanks to tanneries in Asia and Europe, including Italy’s Ausonia) to the finished product, was a decisive factor in winning Decathlon’s trust.

Among the strengths of the Henan Prosper group are also the “stable capabilities” of “supply chain” production.
