\n\tSyntilay has created a recovery footwear<\/a> market focused on sport-specific custom shoes.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe artificial intelligence<\/a> (AI) and 3D-printed footwear firm collaborated with football wide receiver and NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Owens for its first sport-specific custom recovery shoe, this one focused on pickleball<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Syntilay x Terrell Owens collaboration \u2014 called the TO Reset recovery shoe \u2014 is generated from a scan of each customer\u2019s foot that captures the individual\u2019s unique geometry of width, instep, asymmetry and 3D shape. Advanced 3D-printing technology produces each shoe based on those dimensions.<\/p>\n

\n\tOwens, who is a pickleball<\/a> enthusiast, played a direct role in shaping the vision behind the project, providing input on how pickleball athletes recover after repeated high-impact movement and the lateral motion common in the sport. The shoe\u2019s structure was engineered to relieve pressure in the areas where pickleball players experience the most fatigue and impact during and after play. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAs someone who spends a lot of time on the pickleball court, I wanted a recovery shoe that reflected the way pickleball players<\/a> actually move,\u201d Owens said. \u201cWe talked extensively about the pressure points, fatigue, and recovery challenges that come from the sport, and those conversations helped shape the final shoe.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe added that \u201ceverything starts with your feet,\u201d as that\u2019s the foundation for every movement and step on and off the court. \u201cThe result is a recovery shoe that\u2019s not only designed for pickleball, but generated around each person\u2019s individual feet. It\u2019s built to help players reset after competition, recover from the demands of the game, and get ready to do it all again the next day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to Syntilay founder and chief executive officer Ben Weiss, the \u201cheel portion in the shoe sole was reshaped to help alleviate impact on the heel by redistributing force across other areas of the foot, reducing concentrated pressure on the heel during recovery and creating a more balanced underfoot experience after play.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSyntilay also incorporated a roomier toe box to allow the forefoot to relax and recover after a long period of time on the court. \u201cCombined with our custom-generated fit technology, the result is a recovery shoe that helps pickleball players reset in footwear built around both the demands of the sport and the shape of their individual feet,\u201d Weiss said.<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to Reebok founder and Syntilay advisor Joe Foster, \u201cRecovery just got smarter.\u201d He said that for years, has been generic, and the collaboration between Syntilay and Owens for a sport-specific custom shoe \u201cis here recovery footwear<\/a> is heading.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tEarilier this year, Syntilay introduced its PulsePodz model<\/a>, featuring proprietary 3D-printed lattice underfoot pods for air-based cushioning. The pods are generated using AI based on different presets to reflect how much pressure is on the foot, with less cushioning at the ball of the foot and considerably more at the heel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Syntilay has created a recovery footwear market focused on sport-specific custom shoes.
