Re-engineering the Future of Athletic Traction

A revolutionary, patented turntable cleat system engineered to dramatically decrease rotational stress on the ACL/MCL — without compromising the lateral stability or explosive traction elite athletes demand.

Non-contact ACL tear — the foot sticks while the body rotates, devastating the knee.

Modern Cleats Maximize Traction at the Cost of the Athlete's Knee

Fixed studs create high torsional resistance, making non-contact ACL/MCL tears an epidemic in soccer, football, and lacrosse. When an athlete plants and pivots, the foot stays locked in the turf while the body rotates — transferring catastrophic force to the knee.

Karolinias et al. (5/5/25) demonstrated that fatigue plays a significant role in ACL injuries. Current footwear offers zero adaptability to changing athlete conditions.

The Rotors Turntable System

A precision-engineered turntable on the ball of the foot that allows natural rotation during rapid cutting — instantly releasing, rather than grabbing, the turf.

Dynamic Biomechanical Performance

Facilitates natural kinetic chain alignment during high-velocity pivots, actively minimizing rotational torque transferred to the knee joint during high-impact maneuvers.

Seamless Integration

Designed as a modular cleat plate assembly, engineered to integrate into existing performance franchises (Nike Mercurial, Adidas Predator, Puma Future) with minimal tooling disruption.

Zero Performance Compromise

Provides superior traction during acceleration while enabling "disengagement" protection during rotation. Athletes play with higher confidence and less fatigue.

Engineered Precision

From 3D CAD to functional prototypes — the Rotors system is fully developed and patent-protected.

Rotors Technology Demonstrations

Watch the turntable mechanism in motion — from controlled clicks to real-world rotation.

Click Mechanism

Hear the audible click feedback as the rotor engages with the torque-dampening gear teeth. Each click represents a controlled resistance point that limits rotation to a safe range.

Rotor Click — Production Sample

Factory-produced rotor from the manufacturing partner demonstrating the same precision click engagement as the prototype — confirming production-readiness of the mechanism.

Snow Pirouette

Real-world demonstration of rotational freedom on a natural surface. The rotor allows a full pirouette turn while the studs remain planted — exactly the motion that would tear an ACL in a fixed-stud cleat.

Bend Tabs

Demonstrates the flexible stud tab system — studs can flex under load to absorb lateral forces, adding another layer of protection beyond the rotational turntable.

Rotor Assembly Demo

Full walkthrough showing how the rotor, studs, and dampening system assemble into the sole plate. Highlights the modular design that enables easy servicing and customization.

The First All-in-One Fully Customizable System

Rotors is the first platform that is fully customizable to the athlete's conditions at a specific moment. The system can be altered across three dimensions:

  • Torque Resistance

    Adjustable to match how tight the player's ligaments and tendons are that day. Fatigued athletes get more rotational freedom.

  • Stud Length

    Adaptable to field conditions — whether it's freezing, raining, or a firm dry pitch.

  • Stud Shape

    Blade, cone, or Grabber™ moveable cleat shape — configurable for sport and surface.

First football game - Rutgers 1869

"Since Rutgers played the first college football game in 1869, cleat technology has evolved to maximize traction. But the fundamental problem — a fixed foot on a turning body — remains unsolved. Until now."
