The Movement

We left our tech careers, invested our savings, applied for and received grants, and built a world-class team. After over a year of development and testing, the fully realized prototype is ready for production.

What's In a Name?

Why Pines? Naming is a fun challenge - deciding what to call ourselves and our shoe took some thinking. Grace and I spent a long time debating this together, with our friends, and our advisors. If you're curious what factors played into our decision - read on friends!

Conventional court shoes used to kill our ankles. We created Pines and the Atomic Court to provide an alternative. 

Let us know what you think, do you agree?

POV: You live in Maine. You're starting a sneaker company and your co-founder runs a tennis and pickleball facility just down the road a few miles...

@pinesfootwear got our first news coverage today!!

 @core77 - a design publication that's been doing it since '95 - a site that legit industrial designers go to see the bleeding edge of design thinking. Think HYPEBEAST for designers.

They really nailed the details of what we're up to at Pines and captured the key points of @d2lo design.  A huge thanks to them!
