Foot Slips In The Shoe
When you land in a compromised position, your foot slips inside the shoe. Braces & tape immobilize your foot, but they do not keep you connected to your shoe. If you're not connected, your brain can't correct the motion.
You Lose Proprioception
Proprioception is your body's knowledge of where it is in space. It's crucial for balance. When your foot slips inside your shoe, you lose proprioception, and your body can't balance to avoid a sprain.
It's Not Strong Enough
No matter how strong a tape or brace, it's not strong enough to prevent a bad sprain. Landing from a jump can exert as much force as 10x your body weight. Imagine all that force going into your ankle.
You Get Weaker
Wearing a brace or tape weakens the ankle over time, reducing its strength and proprioceptive ability. That makes you more dependent on it, and also makes it less effective over time.

The Pivot 1.0
Built for safe landings
ReAxon Outriggers
Prevent inversion before it happens. Outriggers in the forefoot and heel come into contact with the ground first in dangerous situations and allow your body to balance.
Flex Lock Straps
Become one with the shoe.
Dual straps keep you connected to the shoe while reinforcing key ligaments.
Wide Toe Box
Natural toe splay enhances balance. Most basketball shoes have a narrow toe box that impedes the body's natural balancing abilities.
Performance Insoles
Tuned for basketball with a dynamic flex shank that supports and aligns in the shoe, while still letting your foot be a foot.

The secret to this ankle saving moment
Balance
Most basketball shoes are narrow, which impedes the body’s balancing capabilities. Our wide toe box allows for toe splay to unlock your body's natural stability.
Dual forefoot and heel outriggers are larger and stronger than other basketball shoes, and can prevent inversion before it even starts.
Proprioception
Proprioception is your body's knowledge of where it is in space.
Our wide base provides your body with extra information, and Flex Lock Straps ensure you stay connected to the shoe so your body knows where it is in space.
Range of Motion
Braces and tape immobilize the ankle, restricting motion, weakening the ankle, and creating dependency.
The Pivot 1.0 allows free motion within a safe range, giving a greater range of motion than most braces or tape, keeping your ankle strong and active.
No Foot Slip
Many ankle injuries involve the foot slipping inside the shoe, creating disconnect and stopping the body from balancing.
Our Flex Lock System and ReAxon Bottom Unit unite foot and shoe, creating the ultimate shoe-body connection.
Built to Perform
No detail was overlooked to make sure that the Pivot 1.0 performs at the highest level.
