The Original · A sneaker built around the cross

Every game comes down to a line.

CrossTheLine is an everyday court sneaker with the banner and cross on its side, right where the swoosh would be. Launching on Kickstarter in spring 2027.

Hidden cross 01 · The pool

Every lane ends at a cross.

On the end wall of a competition lane, the swimmer's target is a stripe running from the deck to the floor, with a short bar just under the water. Every race finishes with a hand on it.

A cross line 0.5 metre long shall be placed 0.3 metre below the water surface.

Hidden cross 02 · The track

Every lane runs through it.

The finish line is painted straight across all eight lanes. Where it meets a lane line, it makes a cross, and that's where the race is won.

Hidden cross 03 · The court

Look down on center court.

From above, the center service lines run up to the net from both sides. Line and net meet in a cross in the middle of the game.

The mark

Some lines are painted on the field.One was drawn for us.

A banner holding a cross, set at 48° and running from the collar to the sole. Banners are raised in victory. This one never comes down.

What we're doing

We will prevail.

We're making one great shoe: The Original, an everyday court sneaker with the cross on its side. A great shoe first, one a teammate would want before they know what the mark means. Every pair gives back, and every pair is a reminder of how the story ends.

  • Good over evil.
  • Love over hate.
  • Faith over fear.
Where the profit goes

We're not here to make shareholders rich.

CrossTheLine pays its team fairly, reinvests what it needs to grow, and gives every dollar of profit beyond that to youth sports ministry and Christian community work. Giving starts on day one with $5 from every pair. We'll publish the numbers every year.

Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.Hebrews 12:1 · Printed inside every insole
