From an ethical and moral standpoint, we firmly believe that our cleats should not be seen as a way of cheating, even if they do offer certain advantages. What they truly do is help athletes bring out the best in themselves. It’s not a miracle product that turns someone into a professional without effort or training, it’s simply a tool that supports talent and hard work.
Moreover, nowadays it’s almost impossible to talk about sports without mentioning technology. Everything has evolved (from training methods to clothing). And that’s not a bad thing, as long as it’s done transparently. What is truly immoral, for example, is doping, because it seeks to deceive and break the rules in secret. In contrast, if a technology is approved, well-known, and accessible, it should not be questioned.
Each person is made in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:27); therefore, their body and talents must be cared for, respected, and never exploited for external interests. This supports the ethical design of sports equipment, where the body is not treated as machine, but as a gift.
There are many examples of this: cleats with anti-slip soles, sweat-wicking shirts, or swimsuits that reduce water friction. These are innovations that improve performance without taking away from the athlete’s effort. In fact, more than 70% of elite athletes use this kind of technology.
We believe that MNT project promotes values such as equity, thanks to a design that adapts to different body types and physical contexts, offering fairer access to sports technology. It also promotes justice, as these cleats don’t give players new abilities, but rather enhance the skills they already possess. This allows for the development of honest technology that supports human effort and encourages ethical competition. Finally, it promotes respect for the human body, using safe materials that support better athletic performance through ergonomic design, helping preserve long-term health.
Jesus taught that "the last will be first" (Matthew 20:16), valuing humility over pride. In sports, this translates to respecting your opponent, avoiding humiliation in victory, and competing with pure heart beyond the final result.
As an integrated company, we decided to ask our customers what they think about this topic; because their opinion really matter for us.

"I believe performance-enhancing shoes should be allowed, as long as they don't involve substances like steroids. Technology is constantly evolving, and equipment should evolve with it. Personally, I would only use high-tech shoes if other players use them too, because I think fairness matters. Talent and effort will always be more important than the equipment—athletes make the real difference. Right now, I don’t think this technology should be allowed, but in 15–20 years, it probably will be, since technology is becoming part of everything."

"I think it's fair to use performance-enhancing shoes because technology is part of the world we live in. If it's legal and everyone can access it eventually, why not? I’d definitely wear them if allowed. Talent and effort are still more important, but good equipment helps. Sports should evolve with tech, as long as it's safe and fair."

"Honestly, I don’t think it’s fair. If only some athletes have access to tech shoes, the competition isn’t equal. I wouldn’t use them—I prefer winning by effort, not advantage. Talent, training, and discipline matter most. Sports gear should help, not decide who wins. Organizations should ban this type of gear to keep things fair."

"Tech in sports is fair only if all teams can use it. If rules allow it, I’d wear high-tech shoes. Talent matters, but tech plays a role too—like in climbing or soccer, where it also improves safety. Sports organizations shouldn’t ban tech, but regulate it properly so all athletes compete under the same standards."

"I think it’s fair to use high-tech shoes because they help with movement. I’d wear them—they're beneficial. Talent and effort matter, but if everyone uses the same kind of gear, it’s still fair. Sports organizations shouldn’t ban them, just check the types of shoes to keep the competition balanced."
