This brand makes sportswear, so why does its name include 'knit'?
While browsing functional sportswear, noticing that the brand name contains 'knit'—evoking knitted garments—sparked curiosity about the reason.
It is a name combining a word meaning planet with knit, and since 2022-10, the brand shifted its direction toward functional sportswear, aiming to make clothes that protect the Earth.
The name says knit, but the clothes it makes are functional workout wear.
PLAKNIT is a name created by combining PLANET, meaning a celestial body, and KNIT, referring to knitted fabric[1][2]. The moment the brand shifted its direction along its journey is also clear. After incorporating in 2021, it fully shifted the brand's path to functional sportswear starting in 2022-10[3].
The reason it embraces a planet in its name lies in the direction the brand aims for. Like this compound word, PLAKNIT creates products aiming for sportswear that protects the Earth[4].
hmmm, it is a name that weaves together the functionality of dynamic activewear and an attitude of caring for the planet we stand on, much like the tight weave of a knit.
What items the brand mainly presented before transitioning to sportswear in 2022-10 has not yet been confirmed.
