A Bold New Chapter for Sports E-Commerce
XSPO, one of Europe's leading sports equipment and lifestyle retailers, has officially launched their new online storefront built with Frontic. The launch marks a significant milestone in headless commerce adoption for the sports retail industry, featuring a striking visual design that pushes the boundaries of what e-commerce can look like.
The Vision: Breaking Free from Convention
When XSPO approached the Frontic team, they had a clear vision: create a storefront that would stand out in the crowded sports retail market. They wanted something bold, poppy, and unmistakably unique - a digital experience that would reflect the energy and excitement of sports culture.
"We didn't want another cookie-cutter e-commerce site. We wanted something that would make people stop scrolling and pay attention."
