About STRIDE

STRIDE is a fictional sneaker brand created to show the POLYMATH theme. Drops, weights and specifications are demo content.

We release in small runs on a calendar you can see weeks ahead, and we run in every shoe for a month before it goes on sale.

Drop days

No raffles. No bots. First come, first served.

How it works

Four rules, every drop

The same rules for every release, big or small. (Demo policy.)

  • On the calendar

    Dates go up weeks ahead, with the colourway and the price.

    See the calendar
  • 10:00 UK time

    Every release goes live at the same minute, so nobody has to guess.

  • One pair per size

    Per order, so more people get a pair on release day.

  • Resoled, not replaced

    The Court Classic has a stitched cupsole a cobbler can replace.

Run in first

A month on our feet

Every shoe is worn by the team for a month before it goes on sale: to work, on the track and in the rain. What fails goes back to the factory with notes. (Demo.)

  • Every weight measured in EU 42
  • Heel-to-toe drop on every product page
  • Sizing notes from the people who wore them

Drop alerts

The day before

One email before each release, with the time and the sizes. Nothing else.
