BLACK MOM & DAUGHTER- OWNED SNEAKER COMPANY MAKES HISTORY, SIGNS 7 WORLD FOOTBALL CHAMPS
Meet Cynthia Cureton-Robles and her daughter Santia Deck, the owners of TRONUS, the first ever Black woman-owned sneaker brand to be launched by a female athlete. The brand continues to break glass ceilings after its latest announcement that it has expanded its footwear product line to include sports-focused Active Recovery Slides.
After years of passionately researching, planning, and developing the ultimate recovery slides, TRONUS has won the endorsement of Global Flag Football Greats, Top Coaches, and the sports medicine world. TRONUS makes history as the first female-owned sneaker company to sponsor global flag football champions.
Coming from a family of athletes and watching athletes’ careers cut short due to injury, many times due to overuse and simply lack of recovery, TRONUS founders pledged to combat this plaguing issue head-on. They began by focusing on the sports community that Santia and Cynthia are passionate about which happens to be one of the fastest-growing sports in America, Flag Football. As a flag football trailblazer, Santia’s viral videos of her Barry Sanders-like running style were heavily responsible for her meteoric rise to global prominence and fame, having amassed over three million social media followers worldwide.
