INSIDE FCTRY LAB - WE BUILD DIFFERENT
FCTRY LAb is an end-to-end footwear studio that turns bold ideas into real, wearable shoes. Fashion models, pro athletes, indie founders and global brands all work with our LA team to take concepts from sketch to shelf under one roof.
3D designs go straight to fabric for fast sampling and precise paneling. Every sample is then hand-built and refined, pairing old-world craft with new-school speed. Lasts are modeled, graded and wear-tested for fit across every size, and every shoe passes lab and real-world testing before it ships.
Founder Omar Bailey spent two decades designing sneakers for the industry's biggest names. With FCTRY LAb, he flips the script, giving athletes and artists the tools to sketch, prototype and release their own pairs. The goal: open up sneaker creation, one pair at a time.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
01.
Does the Knight RNR run true to size?
Yes. The Knight RNR is true to size, so order your usual. The foam holds firm on day one, and by the third wear the EVA has shaped to your foot. From there, it only gets better.
02.
What materials is the Knight RNR made of?
The Knight RNR is built entirely from injection molded EVA foam. The single material construction keeps the shoe light, breathable, and grippy at contact, with ventilation running through the design for airflow.
03.
What is the story behind the Knight RNR design?
Omar Bailey did not sketch the Knight RNR from footwear references. He began with the belt lines running through the center of a car, clay studies, and aerodynamic curves. The silhouette is essentially two of those lines, one from heel to toe and one across the top. Cars first, then shoes.
04.
Is the Knight RNR a recovery shoe?
Yes. The Knight RNR is designed as a recovery shoe for athletes who value rest as much as performance. The molded EVA foam construction cushions the foot, the ventilation keeps it breathable, and the lightweight build makes it easy to slip on between workouts or for the walk home.
05.
Is the Knight RNR the same as the Knight RNR Slide?
No. The Knight RNR is a full foot shoe with a closed toe design. The Knight RNR Slide is the slide sandal version of the same recovery line, with an open top for easy on and off. Both share the same foam construction and recovery focused design language.
06.
What is the Knight RNR Candy Paint?
The Knight RNR Candy Paint is a Trae the Truth signature colorway, produced as a special edition of the Knight RNR shoe line. It carries the same foam construction and recovery focused design as the standard Knight RNR, with a distinctive Candy Paint color story.
