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.

The countdown is ON! ⏰ We are officially under 2 months away from dropping the Atomic Court, a first-of-its-kind minimalist court shoe. 

Factory is humming, the wear-testing is undefeated (shoutout to @gchen112 for the pickleball tourney win! πŸ₯‡), and we couldn't be more hyped.

H/t to @zackbowen for the special effects πŸͺ„!

That's a lot of pull tabs! 

From precise screen printing on the line to the final render. πŸ‘ŸπŸ”₯ Every detail of the Atomic Court is intentional. 

We’re bringing a fresh perspective to court sports footwear πŸ‘£ Stay tuned as we get closer to launch! πŸš€

We tested an embarrassing amount of laces for the Atomic Court. πŸ˜… Finding the perfect fit was basically the sneaker version of Goldilocks. Flat laces looked weird, round laces wouldn't stay tied, but oval? Chef’s kiss. 🀌 Who knew shoelaces could be this stressful?
