JUNIPER
Inspired by my love for volleyball, Juniper is a flat-packed shoe designed for volleyball players to wear after a match and while officiating. Unlike open-toed slippers that can’t be worn on the court, Juniper provides an easy, slip-on solution that allows the feet to relax.

Courtney Young (she/her)
Club Volleyball Player
“Keeping my court shoes on after a match to officiate is frustrating and uncomfortable”
Courtney is a competitive volleyball player who participates in regional tournaments, where teams are required to officiate matches between their own games. After an intense match, having to stay in her court shoes while officiating feels uncomfortable and frustrating. Long tournament days leave Courtney looking for ways to stay comfortable and focused while balancing gameplay and officiating duties.
