Since the launch of the world’s first ultra-lightweight aqua shoes in 2011, GTS GLOBAL has grown into a leading global brand rooted in innovative technology and exceptional product quality. In 2013, we proudly introduced BALLOP, our own brand that has since successfully expanded into international markets. Our technological prowess and design excellence have garnered prestigious recognition, including the ISPO Gold Award (Europe, 2018), the Korea Good Design Award, and our selection as an Excellent Sports Product of Korea (2022).

Our commitment to sustained growth is underpinned by a robust portfolio of over 100 intellectual property rights, encompassing patents, utility models, design registrations, and trademarks. Furthermore, our designation as a Leading Sports Company by the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation, a governmental body, highlights our significant contribution to the national sports industry.

In the domestic market, we were honored with the National Brand of the Year Award in the Sports Shoes/Sneakers category in 2023. Building upon the success of BALLOP, we are strategically launching a diverse brand portfolio, including BALLOP (specializing in sports & water sports), WAYDN (our premium gym-wear line), Boogiefree (focused on healthcare & lifestyle products), and PASTYA (our trendy pajama collection), as we advance towards becoming a specialized brand commerce company.

BALLOP continues its strong expansion through well-established online and offline sales channels. Its flagship products boast impressive sales figures, including over 3.5 million pairs of aqua shoes (since 2013), 1.2 million pairs of TIVAT walking shoes (since 2018), and 800,000 pairs of acupressure slippers (since 2020), each holding a leading position within its respective market segment.

Driven by a powerful combination of innovation and brand strength, GTS GLOBAL is resolutely pursuing its mission to evolve into a preeminent sports brand enterprise representing South Korea on the global stage.
