In a groundbreaking move for sports footwear, Hypsole has launched its innovative 3D printed cleat guards, leveraging advanced Carbon Digital Light Synthesis (DLS) technology. Designed to enhance the versatility of athletic footwear, these cleat guards promise athletes the freedom to walk comfortably anywhere, no matter the distance.
Cutting-Edge Technology Meets Athletic Performance
Hypsole, a trailblazer in specialty sports footwear, introduces the Tidal 3D Elite, a game-changing product crafted using Carbon DLS technology. This state-of-the-art process utilizes digital light projection to cure liquid resin, producing cleat guards with superior functionality and aesthetics that traditional manufacturing methods can’t match. The Tidal 3D Elite transforms cleats into versatile footwear that allows athletes to walk with ease while maintaining high performance on the field.
Versatile Compatibility for Various Sports
The Tidal 3D Elite is designed to accommodate a broad spectrum of cleat models from leading brands across multiple sports. Whether you’re into football, soccer, lacrosse, baseball, softball, rugby, or ultimate frisbee, these cleat guards have you covered. This compatibility makes them a must-have accessory for athletes of all levels, ensuring that their cleats can be adapted for different environments and activities.
A Blend of Functionality and Style
Founded by Jes Christian, a former Division I track and field athlete, Hypsole merges sports functionality with fashion-forward design. Christian’s vision was not just to create another piece of sports equipment but to integrate streetwear aesthetics into the cleat guard design. “We wanted the Tidal 3D Elite to stand out not only in performance but in style,” says Christian. “It’s essential that athletes not only need it but want it, and the design reflects that.”
Smart Design for Optimal Comfort and Fit
The Tidal 3D Elite features a sleek, lightweight lattice structure, ensuring both durability and comfort. The adjustable button-and-strap design allows athletes to tailor the fit to their specific cleat sizes and shapes. Additionally, the heel notch makes it easy to remove the guards swiftly, whether seated or standing.
High-Performance Materials for Longevity
Hypsole’s collaboration with Carbon extends to the use of Carbon’s Elastomeric Polyurethane (EPU), a 40% bio-based material that matches the performance of traditional thermoplastic polyurethanes found in sneaker outsoles. This choice of material not only ensures robust performance but also aligns with sustainable manufacturing practices, setting a new standard in the sports footwear industry.
A Promising Future for Athletic Gear
Phil DeSimone, Co-founder and Office of the CEO at Carbon, expresses excitement about the partnership: “Carbon’s technology is all about pushing boundaries, and Hypsole’s Tidal 3D Elite is a perfect example of that. We’re thrilled to contribute to such a revolutionary product that enhances athletic performance across various sports.”
Available Now for Athletes Everywhere
The Tidal 3D Elite is priced at $75 and is available in two stylish colors—Calcite Hex and Onyx Hex—and ten unisex sizes. From youth to adult, the custom unisex sizing system ensures a perfect fit for every athlete. These cleat guards are now available for purchase, offering a versatile solution for football, soccer, lacrosse, baseball, softball, rugby, and ultimate frisbee players.
Hypsole’s new cleat guards represent a significant advancement in athletic gear, combining cutting-edge technology with a stylish, functional design that meets the needs of today’s athletes.
