The KS Power is a reflection of RUDIS’ commitment to continuous improvement for the athletes we serve. Working alongside Kyle Snyder, we’ve developed performance-driven technologies that meet the real-world needs of wrestlers at every level.
From helping prevent injuries like turf toe to enhancing traction when it’s needed most, every element of this shoe was built with the wrestler’s journey in mind. We’re excited to bring these innovations to the wrestling community, knowing that the KS Power will help athletes push their limits with confidence.
This is just the beginning. At RUDIS, we are proud to pioneer technologies that enhance performance and empower wrestlers to achieve their best—because when wrestlers have the right tools, there are no limits to what they can accomplish.
Collaborating with a Champion
This shoe is the result of many in-depth conversations with Kyle Snyder. Throughout the design process, Kyle provided us with key insights that only a world-class wrestler could. From the need for enhanced grip to the importance of preventing injuries like turf toe, Kyle’s feedback was integral to the creation of the KS Power.
"When I step on the mat, I need to trust my gear. The KS Power is built for the way I wrestle, and I know it’ll help others perform their best too." – Kyle Snyder
The PowerDRIVE ™ Platform: A Game-Changer for Wrestlers
When it came to building a shoe for power, we knew we needed to focus on how energy flows through the body during high-intensity moments. That’s where the PowerDRIVE ™ platform came into play. During our conversations with Kyle Snyder, he emphasized the importance of maximizing energy output without compromising foot protection. He wanted something that could support him during extreme push-offs and high-pressure movements while safeguarding against common injuries like turf toe.
XtraGRIP Upper: Traction from Every Angle
Another key insight from Kyle was about grip. In high-level competition, even the slightest slip can cost you. That's why our shoe design team focused on enhancing traction with the XtraGRIP upper treatment.
The XtraGRIP treatment wraps around the shoe, providing all-around traction so that wrestlers can stay locked in from every position—whether they’re driving forward, pivoting, or holding their ground.
