R.A.D®, the brand known for delivering best-in-class performance footwear, has announced it will be the official footwear partner of the annual sporting competition, the ROGUE INVITATIONAL for its 2026 and 2027 events.
R.A.D® will have a big presence at the three day CrossFit and strongman competition over the next two years, starting with this year’s event in Aberdeen, taking place on 23rd-25th October. As part of the partnership, R.A.D® and ROGUE, both brands which specialise in providing top-tier tools for athletes of all levels, from everyday competitors to world-stage elites, will be releasing a collaborative shoe in celebration of the event.
This follows the release of the brands’ first co-branded limited edition version of R.A.D®’s renowned training shoe, the R.A.D® One V2 at the end of last year.
As part of the partnership, R.A.D® and ROGUE will be adding $10 of every pair of R.A.D® shoes sold on roguefitness.com to the athlete prize purse for the ROGUE INVITATIONAL.
Ben Massey, founder of R.A.D®, comments: “The ROGUE INVITATIONAL is an iconic competition and one we are beyond proud to be a big part of for the next two years. We have always celebrated our athletes taking part and connecting with the community at the event via our activations and workout sessions so are looking forward to doing this in an even bigger way this year and showing up in true R.A.D® style.”
Caity Matter Henniger, Chief Sales Officer at Rogue Fitness, said: “At ROGUE, we pride ourselves in working with brands in the CrossFit and strongman space which truly share our vision. We’ve always had a great relationship with R.A.D® and since launching our first collab shoe with them last year and working with them for the R.A.D® x ROGUE Tin Slingers community competition, we both knew we wanted to progress the relationship further. Having them come onboard for the ROGUE INVITATIONAL was the natural next step for both brands – we can’t wait to put on a show together in Aberdeen.”
