Money Can’t Buy Sneaker Experience
The sneaker that gets you the next sneaker. Berlin-based footwear brand SONRA elevated customer engagement and additional sales with the release of their limited edition sneakers featuring ZATAP technology.
“The start of the partnership with ZATAP was perfect. The SONRA ‘Prickly Pear’ was sold out within minutes, and I was able to offer my community a unique experience. It whets my appetite for more, and I look forward to implementing the ZATAP technology for all SONRA sneakers.”

Provide Exclusive Benefits to SONRA Community
As a young brand, limited brand awareness poses a challenge. Passionate enthusiasts often face disappointment as high demand from resellers leads to missed product releases. Additionally, concerns about authenticity loom large in the secondary market.
Solution
Digital Sneaker Ownership with One Tap
SONRA’s sneakers feature embedded ZATAP NFC tags, enabling effortless authenticity verification through one tap. Owners of the Eisenhut model engage in community contests for guaranteed access to upcoming releases, while Prickly Pear owners secure white-listed status for future drops.
Results
New D2C Channel for upselling
For both sneaker models, about half of the owners tapped the sneakers with their smartphones to verify their authenticity. 37% of Prickly Pear owners exercised their pre-sale rights for the next release and 11% of Eisenhut owners participated in the community content, becoming brand ambassadors. SONRA achieved their goal of providing exclusive benefits to a community of customers who own and are loyal to SONRA products, and continued to integrate ZATAP into all sneaker releases moving forward.
