Cut over colour.

Beach volleyball kit to play in and stay in, from the first dive to the hour after the last game.

The kit opens for the waitlist on Thu 10 Dec, 19:00

Play in it. Stay in it.

One short in two cuts, and a top. Our mark on the front, the call on the back, drawn the way the makers get it.

Drawn for later.

Four more tops are already on paper, each in black with a petrol edge or bright petrol with a white one. They come once the first batch is out.

Made for the two of you.

Beach volleyball is never played alone. Put your number and your name on your kit, small, the way a good pair doesn’t need to shout about it. For your partner, your other half, or the friend you always end up next to. Tick “numbers + names” on the waitlist and we’ll ask for your names before anything is printed.

You know the call.

Two on the sand, one ball down the middle. You’ve said it before every serve. Now it’s on the back of your kit, small, on the right.

On the front sits our mark: two players and the ball between them. Nothing else on the outside.

Where we’d rather be.

Made for the North Sea: wind, wet sand and the last game before dark.

Real games, played before our kit existed. We took the colour out: what they’re wearing isn’t ours yet. The photos of our kit higher up are drafts, until the first batch is made.

Almost there.

We’re building this in the open. Here’s the plan.

Now
The waitlist is open, and we’re choosing the shorts: two cuts, tested in the sand.
10 Dec
The pilot opens for the waitlist: the shorts, 15 women’s and 15 men’s, and the one-shoulder top.
11 Dec
Open for everyone, while they last.

Dates are planned and can move. If they do, the waitlist hears first.

Before you ask.

What is my middle.?

A small Amsterdam start-up making beach volleyball kit for people who don’t need to show off. First up: the court short, in a women’s and a men’s cut, and a one-shoulder top.

When can I order?

The shorts and the top open as a small pilot on 11 December, a day earlier for the waitlist. Dates can still move; the waitlist hears first.

Where do you ship from?

From Amsterdam: we pack and send every order ourselves. There’s no minimum order, so one pair of shorts is enough.

Is the top a sports bra or a bikini?

Both. It’s drawn to stay put when you dive, jump and land, and to look like a bikini when you stay on the beach after the last game.

Will there be more?

Yes, in small batches. We make a run, see who wears it, and make the next one from what the waitlist tells us.

Where does the print go?

On the front, our mark, small, on the wearer’s left. On the back, “my middle.”, small, on the wearer’s right. Off-white with a petrol-blue dot. Nothing else on the outside; size and care are on a label inside.

How do the sizes run?

The women’s short is planned in XS to XL, the men’s in S to XXL. Each piece gets a size chart with measurements before it opens. Tell us your size on the waitlist: it decides how many of each we make.

What colours does it come in?

Black, with a thin petrol-blue edge on the top and the ball in our mark. The cut should do the work, and plain kit goes with everything and doesn’t date.

Can I return something?

Yes, within 14 days of delivery. That’s your right when you buy online in the EU. Send pieces back unworn and unwashed, with the label still on.
