The Original Catalyst.
It all started here. As the 5th overall pick in 2016, Jalen Ramsey changed the secondary. Three years ago, he changed the cleat game, becoming the first player to trust FCTRY Lab with a position-specific, independent cleat. Performance-tested, NFL-approved, and built for 7 straight Pro Bowls. The JR1 is the blueprint.

It was fun putting these visuals together, serving as a reminder of how far we’ve come since launching FCTRY LAb athlete services. We’re deep into draft week, and while it’s the perfect time to reflect on our past achievements in engineering position-specific cleats, I’m even more excited about the innovation we’re bringing to the NFL season ahead. Shoutout to each athlete for giving us your trust and the team both past and present for your hard work and contributions. Nothing is easy about any of this and we continue to make it look effortless.

The Definition of Grinding.
A 4th round pick who turned grit into a career. Samson Ebukam 🇳🇬 didn’t just make it; he made a name for himself. Now with the Falcons, he’s putting our custom-engineered cleats to work for his 9th season in the league. Hard work rewards those who put in the time.

Real science. Real engineering. Real results.
Most people look at a cleat and see aesthetics. At FCTRY Lab, we look at the biomechanics, the stress vectors, and the anatomy. We don’t just design footwear; we engineer it for the elite athletes who refuse to settle for anything less than a 1% gain. The reality? Your performance is only as good as the platform you’re standing on.
Our Athlete Services team operates at the intersection of high-speed performance and structural health. From precision 3D foot scanning that captures the unique geometry of an athlete’s foot, to additive manufacturing (3D printing) that allows for zero-waste, high-fidelity geometry, every decision is data-driven.
But engineering isn’t just about speed—it’s about protection. An elite athlete’s career depends on foot health. If your foundation is compromised, your performance is compromised. We build to optimize power output, but we design to ensure longevity.
This is the FCTRY Lab standard.

16 Seasons of Dominance
A 4th overall pick in 2010 turned NFL icon. Trent Williams defines "blindside protection," and after a decade and a half in the league, he’s still the gold standard. We’re proud to provide the engineering support for his 17th year on the field. Business as usual, just faster.

The #1 Overall Standard
Engineering greatness starts at the top. As the #1 overall pick in the 2022 Draft, Travon Walker has always set the pace. We built his custom, one-of-one cleat to be an extension of his explosive pass-rush. Precision engineered for the pressure of the pocket.
