Hey, we're with Lee from Innovate and
0:02
we're at their very cool booth. Make
0:05
sure you read each of those signs. So,
0:07
Lee's going to tell us about their
0:09
upcoming V2 versions of the Trailfly
0:12
shoes. So, Lee, let's get into it.
0:16
So, let's start with We got four shoes.
0:21
Come down here. Right.
0:23
So, we got four shoes
0:26
down here.
0:29
So, the Trail Fly range is one of our
0:32
most popular ranges that we've ever
0:33
done. It's designed for hard pack trails
0:37
with each of the shoes has 4 mm lugs,
0:39
perfect for cruising along those hard
0:41
pack trails. All our shoes have a
0:44
natural fit. So, we design all our
0:46
footwear the same. So, it has a nice
0:49
lock in at the heel and the midfoot and
0:51
then it flares out here at the toes. So
0:54
you've got lots of space for your toes
0:56
to do naturally what they want to do. Um
0:59
allowing your foot to control the shoe
1:02
and not the shoe to control the foot.
1:05
So all the Trail Fly shoes feature that
1:07
same fit and the same outsole. What
1:09
we've done with the V2s though is we've
1:11
improved the rubber. So we've made it
1:13
much stickier. So it's going to give 50%
1:17
better grip in the wet conditions.
1:19
Ah it was already pretty good. Okay. was
1:22
already outstanding. We've made it even
1:24
better.
1:25
So, it's still graphine grip.
1:26
It's still infused with graphine. That's
1:28
right. So, graphine is the world's
1:29
strongest material and we're the only
1:31
brand in the world that uses it in such
1:34
a way to insert it to infuse it into the
1:36
rubber. So, it not only retains the
1:38
stickiness, it makes it harder wearing.
1:40
So, these outs last ages. You know, you
1:44
should be cooking up big big miles in
1:45
these shoes.
1:47
Excellent. Now, tell us the you each
1:49
model that we have four. what what their
1:52
best uh what you think best uses are and
1:55
and a bit their characteristics.
1:57
Yeah, certainly. So, you got your Trail
1:58
Fly Zero. So, this is your zero drop
2:00
shoe and this is your Trail Fly Speed.
2:03
So, this is a racing shoe for faster
2:06
faster races and training. It's got a
2:08
low lower profile ride and you really
2:10
feel like one with the 4mm drop 4 mm in
2:13
that one. Yeah.
2:14
Then you come down to a 6 mm drop and
2:17
this is what we would call an everyday
2:18
sort of training shoe. something that
2:20
you can jump into time and time again,
2:22
reliable, you know exactly what you're
2:24
going to get. And then the final shoes,
2:26
the Trail Fly Max, and this is our most
2:30
cushioned option. So, for those longer
2:31
runs or those who want that more comfort
2:34
under foot,
2:35
and so they uh the foams, we have the uh
2:39
Tell us what the foams are here.
2:40
We've got two different types of foam
2:42
split across the shoe. Um, so both the
2:44
Zero shoe and the Max shoe, they're both
2:48
using our brand new Fly Speed Pro form.
2:51
You can just see it on the side there.
2:54
Um, and that is a super critical uh
2:57
process form with nitrogen infused gas.
3:00
So, it's light, it's soft, and you just
3:03
you feel a nice bit of push as you land
3:05
and then push, you're out. You're
3:06
getting that energy return through
3:08
again.
3:08
Excellent. The other two shoes more in
3:10
our more classic form pro form. Still
3:14
super cool but just gives a little bit
3:16
of a little bit of a firmer ride on the
3:18
more bit more stable for rougher
3:21
terrain. True.
3:22
Excellent.
3:24
Thank you, Lee.
3:25
No problem. Thank you for having us.
