We’re racers first — which means we use what we sell and stand behind it. Based in East Tennessee, we’re a family-owned business built around a dad supporting his son and daughter in racing.
Over the last few years, the sport has taken us all over and introduced us to some incredible people up and down the road. Everything we offer comes from real experience in the pits, not guesswork. If it doesn’t work for us on race day, it doesn’t make the cut.
If you see us at the track, stop by, check things out, and say hi — we’re always happy to talk racing.
Modern high-top sneaker styling meets race-day performance. The CKS Apex™ was built for racers who want the comfort and bold look of a modern sneaker without showing up in the same plain racing shoes everyone else has been wearing for years.
These are not off-the-shelf shoes with a logo slapped on the side. Every pair is fully custom and designed around you, your team, and your race program. Choose your colors, add your name and number, incorporate sponsor logos, and create a pair that matches your suit, kart, car, or overall brand.
Because winning should look this good from head to toe.
Fully custom means fully custom
Your CKS Apex™ shoes can be personalized with:
Custom colors and color placement
Driver name and race number
Team, business, and sponsor logos
Coordinating graphics and design elements
Your choice of perforated or solid leather toe
Your choice of an open-lace design or leather lace cover
Whether you want something clean and understated or loud enough to be seen from the other end of the pits, we can make it happen.
Built with full-leather construction
The CKS Apex™ features a full-leather exterior for a premium look, durable construction, and a more substantial feel than a typical lightweight racing shoe. The high-top design provides added coverage while maintaining the modern sneaker-inspired style that makes the Apex stand apart.
Choose a perforated toe for added airflow or a solid leather toe for a smoother, more traditional finish. A leather lace cover can also be added for a cleaner appearance and additional coverage, or left off to showcase the classic high-top lace design.
Made to stand out
Traditional racing shoes do the job. The Apex™ does the job while looking like it belongs in victory lane.
These were made for racers who believe their equipment should match the effort they put into the rest of their program. Pair them with your custom suit, coordinate them with your team colors, or create something completely different. Either way, nobody is going to mistake them for a generic pair pulled from a catalog.
Important color notice
Each pair is individually made and colored using genuine leather. Due to the nature of dyed leather, some areas may show minor color bleeding, shading differences, or slight discoloration, particularly where contrasting colors meet.
These small variations are normal with custom-dyed leather and are not considered defects. They are part of what makes every pair unique—kind of like race cars, racers, and questionable setup decisions.
