Made properly, not dropshipped
We work directly with manufacturers and a certified pedorthist to build the V2. We don't buy a generic insole and rebrand it, and we never will.
About CRBN
Carbon tech, minus the import tax.
CRBN exists because imported carbon insoles cost too much and took too long. So we built our own, locally, with a certified pedorthist, and priced for the athletes who actually need it.
Our mission is boring on purpose: make one insole, make it great.
We don't have a catalogue of forty products. We have the CRBN V2, a carbon fibre performance insole we obsess over, built directly with manufacturers and experts so we never have to compromise on quality. We believe in it fully, and we're proud it's backed by athletes, a certified pedorthist, the teams we sponsor, and our partnerships with AAU Australia and AAU New South Wales.
Priced like it's for athletes
Most carbon insoles are imported and cost more than the shoes they go in. We make a genuinely high-performance insole that a 15-year-old can actually afford.
Australian owned & operated
Designed here, shipped free from Sydney, with local returns and no customs wait. We send them worldwide too — flat $20, same guarantee, same person answering your email.
In the grassroots, not just the ads
We partner with AAU Australia and AAU New South Wales, sponsoring tournaments and teams across the circuit. The junior game is where this product gets proven, so it’s where we put our money.
Certified design
Meet Karl Kang,
the pedorthist behind CRBN.
We didn't buy a generic insole and slap a logo on it. We built CRBN directly with Karl Kang, a pedorthist certified by the American Board for Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics and Pedorthics, with over 25 years designing quality insoles. Through Karl, the V2 plate was worked on with NBA G League athletes.

Team SpheraRanked #1 · Sydney AAU
Team Sphera is the #1-ranked AAU basketball program in Sydney, and the whole roster competes in CRBN V2 across the national AAU circuit. When a starter pulls their shoe off mid-game to show the insole, that's the product doing the talking.
