Apex Court is our flagship platform: a premium Tennis and Padel performance shoe where the R&D, outsole tooling, fit work, sample corrections, and wear-testing on clay, hardcourt, grass, indoor carpet, and Padel courts are already complete, with the full development investment absorbed. Built on a platform already selling in Germany — this next-generation chassis is lighter, with upgraded specs, on the same proven engineering base. Put your logo on a definitive technical story from day one. Featuring supercritical eTPU energy return, integrated carbon stability, and surface-specific sole modules, this platform is engineered strictly for flagship retail pricing. This is a complete ODM platform: engineered, tooled, and validated on court — ready to carry your brand without reopening development.

Concept → design → tooling → validation are fully executed and financially de-risked. You start at brand specification and production — not at the drawing board.

Payment & Trade Assurance

Contracting party Jinjiang Feite Sports Technology Co., Ltd., Jinjiang, Fujian, China. Order placed and protected through Alibaba.com Trade Assurance.
Payment terms 30% deposit to commence production; 70% balance against a copy of the Bill of Lading prior to release. Exact milestones confirmed on the formal Proforma Invoice.
Production lead time 14 weeks (98 calendar days) for validated footwear platforms. The clock starts once the deposit has cleared AND the final specification plus pre-production sample are signed off in writing — whichever is later.
Sample approval window The lead-time clock pauses during any buyer review or approval window and resumes on written approval, so buyer-side delays never count against the supplier timeline.
Inspection Buyer-nominated or third-party pre-shipment inspection (including Alibaba Inspection Services) is permitted before the balance is released.
Conformance Goods are produced to the approved specification and approved pre-production sample. Acceptance is measured against the signed-off sample.
Trade term FOB Jinjiang / Xiamen. Freight transit time is excluded from the production lead time.
Timeline adjustments Force majeure, raw-material force events, or buyer-initiated changes to spec, colorway, or quantity extend the agreed timeline accordingly.
