Frequently Asked Questions

Shakarii sports shoes feel like a hug through our proprietary 3D printed TPU mesh that adapts to your foot's contours, combined with dual-density EVA foam and responsive carbon fiber technology. This creates an embracing sensation across all sports - whether you're sliding on clay tennis courts, explosive padel movements, quick pickleball pivots, long-distance running, or intense gym workouts.

Our 3D printed TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) creates a mesh that's precisely engineered to flex and adapt to your foot's unique shape and movement patterns. Unlike traditional materials, this technology allows for micro-adjustments in real-time, creating that signature 'hug' feeling while maintaining durability and performance.
