This has been incredibly hard.

Keeping a secret of this magnitude under wraps the last six months has been brutal.

But I can now finally talk about it.

I've hinted at Project X for awhile and now it is time to reveal it...

Project X is our real entrance into the lifting shoe game.

Fashioned after the most popular gym shoe, the Converse Chuck Taylor, these shoes are built for the gym.

In fact, we've made some improvements to the most popular lifting shoe...

Featuring a sturdier exterior canvas construction, a thin sole so you are lower to the ground to deadlift in and a solid rubber bottom to generate torque, our Raskol Lifting Shoes are BUILT to be lifted in.

Additionally, as you can tell, we had to make them super stylish and so we've sublimated our popular All Pain. No Gains design into the canvas itself.

These shoes represent about half a year of working, tweaking and adjusting these shoes to be THE lifting shoes.

And in July, we'll be releasing them.

Now we need your help.

We're trying to assess just how popular they are. We just made a post on our Instagram.

Please take a moment to like the post and leave a comment with what shoe size you are. We're trying to see if we made enough.

This is only the beginning of Project X. We have much more on the way, especially if these prove to be popular.

Leave a comment on our latest post with your shoe size.

And if you're like us, July can't come soon enough.
