"BOWLED" is a collection of position-specific performance footwear for cricket players. Taking inspiration from the specific actions of the Batsman and the Bowler, these shoes address a modern and technical spin on footwear for this widely loved international sport. The Bowler shoe features a dual strap lockdown system that provides arch support to the bowlers and improves foot lockdown during fast-paced deliveries. The Batsman shoe features a 3D-printed TPU structure to provide additional support on the midfoot region and asymmetric lacing system for improved fit and reduced midfoot pressure.
