- Syntilay has launched a recovery footwear market focusing on sport-specific custom shoes.
- The company collaborated with NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Owens to create a sport-specific recovery shoe for pickleball.
- The Syntilay x Terrell Owens TO Reset recovery shoe is generated from a scan of each customer’s foot, capturing individual foot geometry.
- Terrell Owens, an enthusiastic pickleball player, provided insights into the shoe’s design based on how pickleball athletes recover from high-impact movements and lateral motion.
- The shoe was engineered to relieve pressure in areas most experienced as fatigue and impact by pickleball players, reshaping the heel to alleviate concentrated pressure and incorporating a roomier toe box for recovery.
- According to Reebok founder and Syntilay advisor Joe Foster, the collaboration represents a step toward smarter, sport-specific recovery footwear.
- Earlier in the year, Syntilay introduced its PulsePodz model featuring 3D-printed lattice underfoot pods for customized air-based cushioning, generated using AI.
