Lescon

Lescon is a Turkish sportswear and athletic footwear brand founded in 1980 with Turkish capital. Its origins lie in the plastic injection shoe production that began in the Nizip district of Gaziantep, a region of southeastern Turkey known for its manufacturing base. In 1990 the company moved its headquarters and operations to Istanbul, and in 1992 it began producing under the Lescon brand name. The brand gained early recognition in 1993 when it produced Turkey's first indoor-court football shoe (halı saha ayakkabısı), a product category that became closely associated with the Lescon name. Over the following decades Lescon expanded from footwear into textile products, launching textile production under the Lescon brand in 1998. The company opened its first Lescon concept store in 2004 and had grown to 34 concept stores by 2010. It also built a presence in football through sponsorships and equipment: in 2005 it signed a sponsorship agreement with Eintracht Frankfurt, a Bundesliga club, and in 2006 it produced a FIFA-approved Lescon football. From 2007 it began serving as technical sponsor for clubs in the Süper Lig, Turkey's top football division. Lescon has historically designed sports products for a number of teams, positioning itself as a domestic Turkish sports brand competing in footwear, apparel, and team equipment. Its product range spans athletic shoes, sportswear, and footballs, with a retail network of concept stores across Turkey. The brand remains active and is associated with Turkish capital and manufacturing heritage.

Lescon was founded in 1980 with Turkish capital. Its manufacturing roots began in the Nizip district of Gaziantep, where plastic injection shoe production was started that same year. In 1990 the company relocated its headquarters and activities to Istanbul, positioning itself closer to Turkey's commercial center. In 1992, production began under the Lescon brand name. A defining moment came in 1993, when Lescon produced Turkey's first indoor-court football shoe (halı saha ayakkabısı). This product category became a signature of the brand and helped establish its reputation in Turkish football culture. In 1998, the company expanded into textile products under the Lescon brand, broadening its offering from footwear into apparel. In 2004, Lescon opened its first concept store, marking a move into branded retail. The following year, in 2005, it signed a sponsorship agreement with Eintracht Frankfurt, a Bundesliga club, extending its visibility into German football. In 2006, Lescon produced a FIFA-approved football, a milestone in its equipment line. From 2007, the brand began acting as technical sponsor for clubs in the Süper Lig, Turkey's top football division. By 2010, the number of Lescon concept stores had reached 34. Throughout its history, Lescon has designed sports products for many teams. The brand remains active in the Turkish sportswear market, with a product range that includes athletic footwear, sportswear, textiles, and footballs.
