The Atomic Court Evolution: Perfecting the Prototype

Welcome to the latest installment of building a shoe company! We are on a mission to build the ultimate minimalist court shoe, the Atomic Court, and we wanted to pull back the curtain a bit on our development process. As you'll see in our developer diaries below, getting a sneaker right takes a lot of tweaking, wear-testing, and occasionally bumping into things.

"Best court shoe of the year." โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ

You're making us blush ๐Ÿค— @drachperformance! 

When we designed the Atomic Court, we wanted to build a shoe that protected your body during cuts and sprints on hard surfaces while still giving you that minimalist, zero-drop feel you love.

Whether youโ€™re on the court or in the gym for speed and agility work, the Atomic Court has you covered.

Features we packed into this model:
โœ… Perfect sole thickness for hard impact
โœ… Wide toe box for stability
โœ… Incredible court grip
โœ… An extra 4mm drop-in midsole (ALT-4) for easy transitioning!

The reality of starting a sneaker brand isn't always glamorous photoshoots and perfectly timed launches. Sometimes it's just you, a beautiful Maine fall day, and a container ship taking its sweet time in California. ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ‘Ÿ
