The Athlete’s Barefoot Shoe. The Primitive 1 was built on one simple belief: stronger feet build stronger athletes. The Primitive 1 embraces the principles of natural movement with a zero-drop platform, wide toe box, and removable footbed that encourage natural foot mechanics and a stronger connection to the ground. Purposefully designed for athletes, a reinforced heel clip provides the stability and confidence needed for heavy lifts, explosive movement, and high-intensity training, creating a shoe that combines barefoot principles with the stability athletes demand. Every detail was engineered to help athletes train closer to the ground without sacrificing the stability to perform at their best.
