Cool Sport was born from passion for extreme sports. Its founders are two brothers who were one of the first people in Poland to ride a snowboard. At the beginning of the 90’s snowboarding and skateboarding were exotic sports and the necessary equipment was unavailable in Poland. The brothers saw increasing interest in new sports disciplines, and they decided to transfer their passion to the business field.
The first specialist shop offering snowboard and skateboard equipment was established in Kraków in 1995. Its name was COOL SPORT. The idea turned out to be a great success. By the end of the 90's, lots of people loved snowboarding, which became a mass sport. Two years after opening the first shop, the company decided to expand its business and opened a few more retail outlets and started a wholesale business of products imported for the needs of their shops. It resulted in signing their first distribution contract on the import and wholesale of Generics snowboards and Blax snowboard boots and bindings in 1997. A year later, the distribution offer was diversified and the company started to sell Northwave snowboard boots and Drake bindings. The following years resulted in new contracts giving Cool Sport the exclusive distribution of Lamar, Sims and Head Snowboards and the right to represent them in Poland.
2003 was a groundbreaking year. Cool Sport became the exclusive distributor in Poland of Sole Technology, which offers such brands as: Etnies, Es, Emerica, Altamont and Thirty Two. It was an important moment which gave the company sales balance during the whole year. Moreover, in the same year, the company decided to begin online sales.
Excellent cooperation with Head in the field of snowboard distribution resulted in taking over the distribution of all Head products. In 2008, Cool Sport became an official Head distributor in Poland and started to offer skis, tennis, squash and badminton equipment. Unfortunately, the global crisis of 2008/2009 led to an increase of risk and a wave of bankruptcies of many sports stores. Cool Sport, wishing to reduce risk related to currency fluctuations and unstable markets, assisted Head in creating a new department in Poland, resulting in a more beneficial business model for both sides.
Throughout the years, Cool Sport has won many awards and distinctions, including the “Distributor of the Year”, which the company has been awarded several times. In 2010 and 2011 the company won the prestigious title of “Gazele Biznesu” and was included in the exclusive circle of the most dynamically developing companies in Poland.
Nowadays, Cool Sport is a professional distributing company employing 46 people, with its own 2,500 sq.m. storehouse and over 500 sq.m. offices and showrooms. We offer such brands as: Brixton, Etnies, Es, Emerica, Altamont, Thirty Two, Volcom, Element, Supra, Krew, C1rca, Dirty Velvet, Northwave, Drake, Dragon, Von Zipper and Level.
