Portland, Oregon, U.S Monday 9th February – 2026: R.A.D® the cult performance footwear brand, has announced its fourth collaboration with original R.A.D® athlete and seven-time CrossFit Games competitor Danielle Brandon for a new limited edition R.A.D® ONE V2 shoe, launching on February 12th.
The limited-edition R.A.D® ONE V2 will launch in her signature pink style; reimagined with a sparkly sole and a hot pink midsole. The shoe is embossed with Danielle’s iconic ‘DBE’ (Danielle Brandon Energy) logo, incorporating her bold, unapologetic personality to the trainer’s design.
This time, R.A.D® presents Danielle in a short-form animated video inspired by ‘80s animated series, Thundercats. The animation highlights her power, strength and speed – capturing how high performance and vibe can live together.
The launch marks Danielle Brandon’s fourth collaboration with R.A.D® since she became the brand’s first athlete when it launched in 2022. Her previous collaborations, including the recent DBE Underwear launch, have consistently sold out within minutes – this latest drop is expected to be no different.
Danielle Brandon commented on the launch: “My fourth shoe is finally here, and it feels like a perfect reflection of what I’m up to this season. It’s pink, purple, and sparkly. It’s loud – and so am I. I mean, my hair is pink! This shoe feels bold, playful, and unapologetic, which is exactly what DBE embraces. It might be my favourite shoe yet… although I say that about all my shoes.”
The Danielle Brandon limited edition R.A.D® ONE V2 will go live globally on Thursday 12th February at 11am ET / 4pm GMT online at https://rad-global.com/

Ben, with a background in fashion and a previous CrossFit competitor and gym owner, sought to fill a gap in the market by designing performance footwear that balances style and function.
