MONK ZERO HAUS: Berlin Field Test, 2025

To truly know if a product works, we decided to test the MONK ZERO HAUS by living the experience of preparaing a marathon. With the goal of creating a shoe resistant to heat, rain, and distance, we ran over 500 kilometers of training with the first prototypes. Each run revealed details about the upper, the midsole, and the feeling of silence in motion. The ultimate test was the Berlin Marathon, an unexpectedly hot day. At the finish line, the shoes proved to be light, stable, and breathable, without noise or distractions, offering movement, structure, and clarity. MONK ZERO HAUS is not a promise, but a testament to endurance.
