This was answered by a community member in a [recent post](https://forums.pixeltailgames.com/t/will-you-ever-be-able-to-get-backer-rewards-again/24282/2?u=macdguy). Backer items will never be available to the public/new players in the future. They were items created solely for backers of our Indiegogo, which kickstarted and made Tower Unite a reality. These backers are part of the reason we have Tower Unite today, so they have all the right to brag. We spent a portion of the funds to develop the backer items for them exclusively. We do have plans to have a speed shoe equivalent, but it will not look the same. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.pixeltailgames.com/t/get-backer-items/24285)._
