Every line, stitch, and movement began with Cary Kolat. A wrestler whose career was built on precision now brings that same mastery to design. From the first sketch to the final prototype, Kolat shaped this shoe in every way possible… exacting, uncompromising, ALL IN. Nothing escaped the eye of feel - the way the suede breathes, the collar wraps, the sole grips the mat. Every material chosen for purpose. Every texture tested through touch. Premium isn’t an aesthetic. It’s a discipline. This isn’t just built for wrestlers. It’s built by one.
Kolat - Light Speed
Wrapped Split Sole
The wrapped split sole carries rubber up the sides of the shoe, so you're still gripping when your foot rolls onto its edge. It splits through the middle so your foot can bend naturally. There's no angle where the traction runs out.
Ultra-Low-Profile Collar
The ultra-low collar stays out of the way of your ankle. Bend, rotate, create an angle, and wrestle through positions without the shoe telling you where to stop.
Premium Natural Leather
Natural leather breaks in and molds to your foot in a way synthetics can't. The more you wrestle in it, the more it becomes your shoe, while reinforcement helps it stand up to the abuse of a season.
Tight-Pull Lacing System
The tight-pull lace system and Z-toe wrap pull the shoe around your foot from two directions. Nothing is left to shift, so when you plant your foot, the shoe goes with you.
