Most people in this video met as strangers at public pickleball courts in Carlsbad California. We started this brand because we think pickleball is worth it. It builds lasting friendships, gets people away from the computer screen, is great exercise, social, competitive, and fun. We're grateful to have found the game and we're equally grateful for your support, Questions? Concerns? Something we missed? We want to help! We will be answering any and all questions ASAP.
We realize you cannot designate what size(s) you want when checking out. This is a limitation of Indiegogo's platform unfortunately, but don't fret! If you decide to purchase a pair(s), you will receive a Google Survey via email asking what shoe sizes you want for your order. We will send these emails periodically, so if you do not see it in your inbox immediately after purchase please give us a few! We apologize for the inconvenience here, True to Size: Yes. We advise ordering the most typical shoe size you wear! Every foot and shoe is different so there's no guarantee, but if for some reason you receive the shoes and you decide a different size might be better, don't worry! We're offering free exchanges / returns and free shipping, so you can always send em back if you need a different size.
Hey all it's Garrett here. With shoe experts, friends, family, and my awesome girlfriend, we're getting this pickleball brand off the ground. But why, Like many of you, I got addicted to pickleball during the height of the pandemic. Society was suspended in total limbo. But, the one safe haven that allowed us to be social, exercise, be outside, compete, and forget about the world for a bit were the pickleball courts at our local park.
This is where I fell in love with the game. I love the fact it forces people to drop their phones, to be human, get some vitamin D, focus, burn calories, laugh, and sometimes, even fall. When I purchased my first pair of court shoes (the brand rhymes with Tillson), they fell apart in weeks. Everyone was clamoring just to find their shoe size so I thought, why don't we make a better shoe, And here we are. After a year+ of development, testing, adjustments, and a million other things, we can finally say - we're here to bring you a BETTER pickleball shoe.
As good as our backhand dinks pretend to be, us pickleball players couldn't design and manufacture shoes ourselves...we had to find an expert who could. So we did, and his name is Mark. With over 20+ years of experience working with brands like K-Swiss, Adidas, Hoka, UGG, and many more, Mark helped us achieve our dream of creating the perfect pickleball shoe, Starting on March 16th 2022, we started building Cypher Key211s from scratch. The process is arduous, with MANY revisions, decisions, and mistakes to be made along the way, but we didn't want to rush the process, and we HAD to get it right.
If you decide to purchase a pair or pairs throughout this campaign, you should receive your shoes in December of 2023. I realize for a lot of you that's a long wait and that you may need new shoes tomorrow. But, I want to be totally transparent with everyone even if that means you decide to pass on a pair of our shoes for now.
The reason for the delay is because we need the funding from this crowdfunding campaign to help pay for the final mold costs ($40-$50k) + to pay for our initial production run. Our shoes are of high quality and produced in small quantities...so it's unfortunately an expensive endeavor! Which is why we need your help to get us off the ground. By supporting our campaign, you are truly a part of making this brand a reality. Thank you for your patience and for your support!
You have to order one of these before it's too late!
