Ektio (www.ektio.com) is a physician-designed, clinically-tested athletic shoe specifically created to provide rock solid ankle support. The brand was named after the two Greek words 'Ektor' and 'Alexio,' which mean to 'defend' and 'protect.' Though Ektio's functional properties are totally unique to any footwear on the market today, the hip, urban stylings of the Wraptor and Post Up models rival any celebrity named athletic shoe available today. Announcements about the major U.S. retailers who will be carrying Ektio will be made in the coming week.
