MARK FLEKKEN SIGNS FOR LEVERKUSEN CALMA HEADS INTO THE BUNDESLIGA

At every stage of the creation process, Calma goalkeepers command creation. The identity, beliefs, preferences, and image of the brand's athlete partners are at the forefront of design.

Calma’s partnership with Mark Flekken embodies this commitment. The Dutch international joined our growing brand on an exciting journey, taking Calma straight into the heart of the German Bundesliga and onto football’s ultimate stage following his €10m transfer to Bayer Leverkusen.

"As a goalkeeper, you want equipment that isn't just stamped with a brand logo, but engineered around how you actually perform under high-pressure decisions," Flekken explained. "When I partnered with Calma, I saw an opportunity to be directly involved in crafting gloves that meet the absolute highest technical standard in elite European football." 

After an impressive final season at Brentford in the Premier League, Mark starts a new journey with his new gloves on his hands. With Bayer Leverkusen competing in this season’s UEFA Champions League, Flekken is set to embark on a new challenge, taking Calma with him every step of the way, a partnership that elevates Calma's innovation to the absolute pinnacle of world football. Watching our gear tested against Europe's elite clubs brings a new dimension of prestige and technical validation to every pair of gloves we craft.

For Calma, this move represents a massive milestone. Our gloves represented weekly in one of Europe’s most demanding leagues as well as club football’s biggest stage is a testament to the standard we hold ourselves to.
