Keyboards, mice, monitors\u2014that's more esports' speed. But sneakers can apparently be optimized for esports players, according to K-Swiss and esports organization Immortals.The footwear brand is partnering with Immortals to create two sneakers for professional gamers, a lifestyle shoe and a technical performance model. It's a \"first-of-its-kind\" partnership for an esports team. K-Swiss' esports offerings aren't exclusively for Immortals, either. Regular folks will also be able to purchase a pair of either Immortals-branded kicks.Players and teams have long customized already-existing sneakers to coincide with team branding, but a specifically designed technical esports shoe? That's a first.Related: Vodafone signs global partnership with ESLK-Swiss' esports lifestyle shoe is a version of the brand's Kompass sneaker, just dazzled up with Immortals coloring. It'll launch in December for $110 at select retailers and at the K-Swiss website. But more interesting is the performance shoe that K-Swiss will design for the team.\"Like any professional athlete, esports competitors look for any advantage they can use against their opponents,\" Immortals CEO Noah Whinston said in a statement. \"By wearing a uniquely designed shoe specifically created for our esports players with their input, they know that they have an immediate advantage\u2014both physically and psychologically.\"K-Swiss will bring \"scientific research\" to the shoe, and visit Immortals training facility in Los Angeles to get input from players. \"Movement of feet during a match\" and \"rising temperature in a shoe\" will be considered by the K-Swiss research team. The technical esports shoe will also be available to the public sometime in early 2019, according to the press release.K-Swiss and Immortals will document the entire shoe design process and broadcast the videos on K-Swiss and Immortals social media channels.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/11102044\/cc040ee6-d2bd-49c7-a9ec-734b90c24639.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3535"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/909"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3535"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3535\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3536"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3535"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3535"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3535"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=3535"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=3535"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=3535"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=3535"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Footwear isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when considering esports gear. Keyboards, mice, monitors\u2014that’s more esports’ speed. But sneakers can apparently be optimized for esports players, according to K-Swiss and esports organization Immortals.<\/p>

The footwear brand is partnering with Immortals to create two sneakers for professional gamers, a lifestyle shoe and a technical performance model. It’s a “first-of-its-kind” partnership for an esports team. K-Swiss’ esports offerings aren’t exclusively for Immortals, either. Regular folks will also be able to purchase a pair of either Immortals-branded kicks.<\/p>

Players and teams have long customized already-existing sneakers to coincide with team branding, but a specifically designed technical esports shoe? That’s a first.<\/p>

K-Swiss’ esports lifestyle shoe is a version of the brand’s Kompass sneaker, just dazzled up with Immortals coloring. It’ll launch in December for $110 at select retailers and at the K-Swiss website. But more interesting is the performance shoe that K-Swiss will design for the team.<\/p>

“Like any professional athlete, esports competitors look for any advantage they can use against their opponents,” Immortals CEO Noah Whinston said in a statement. “By wearing a uniquely designed shoe specifically created for our esports players with their input, they know that they have an immediate advantage\u2014both physically and psychologically.”<\/p>

K-Swiss will bring “scientific research” to the shoe, and visit Immortals training facility in Los Angeles to get input from players. “Movement of feet during a match” and “rising temperature in a shoe” will be considered by the K-Swiss research team. The technical esports shoe will also be available to the public sometime in early 2019, according to the press release.<\/p>
