22 August 2025
The International Defence Industry Exhibition welcomes Raven Sport, a Krakow-based distributor of specialist outdoor equipment, which will present a comprehensive range of AKU tactical footwear, aimed at uniformed services and civilian users who value durability and quality

Raven Sport – a distributor with a strong portfolio

Raven Sport has been in the outdoor industry since 2005 and is the exclusive distributor of several prestigious brands in Poland, including AKU, Mystery Ranch, and Katadyn Group. The company is renowned for its high standards of product selection, catering to the needs of professionals and outdoor enthusiasts.

AKU – Italian quality, handcrafted and innovative

AKU, founded in 1955 in Italy, specialises in the production of trekking and tactical footwear. The company pioneered the use of the Gore-Tex membrane, operates two large factories (in Italy and Romania), and produces over 200,000 pairs of shoes annually. It stands out for its handcrafted craftsmanship, high-quality materials, and attention to ecology and environmental footprint, as evidenced by the Bellamont Plus certification.

Raven Sport will showcase a wide range of AKU footwear designed for police and military personnel, as well as for civilian users who value professional craftsmanship. Models on display include:

  • Pilgrim GTX Combat FG M – lightweight tactical boot with a Gore-Tex membrane, ideal for operations under challenging conditions.
  • Classic models such as NS564 Spider II  and Selvatica Tactical Mid GTX, which were already popular.

This is a complement to previous exhibitions at MSPO 2023 and 2024, where Raven also presented AKU models, including the Professional line – primarily Pilgrim and Spider II.
