Transcript

Playing basketball barefoot sounds like it would hurt your feet, but that's exactly what the sneaker brand is doubling down on. Plus, they're officially sponsoring the player that chased LeBron down last season. While most shoes are adding more footwork technology, this company is doing the exact opposite. Their cofounders are avid barefoot runners who believe in the training power of minimal footwear. That's why Tier has already sold tens of thousands of barefoot sandals, running, and hiking shoes. Now with Temifag Better from the WNBA and the Pistons Isaiah Stewart signed to the brand, they're hoping the barefoot trend crosses over to basketball. So for a $170, are you hooping barefoot in the x one basketball shoe?
