Okay, we're with Tom Luage and Dom here
0:03
at Adidas Traxx and we're going to hear
0:06
about the new Agravic speed line. Go
0:09
ahead, guys.
0:10
Yeah, great. Thank you. So, um, yeah,
0:13
the Aragraphic Speed Ultra 2. So, the
0:15
next generation of the Agraic Speed
0:16
Ultra, we didn't want to lose uh the
0:18
magical feeling of speed. Therefore, we
0:21
only optimized areas where we wanted to
0:24
optimize without breaking uh the things
0:26
that actually worked very well with the
0:28
first generation. Uh so the biggest
0:30
change you can see happened on the upper
0:32
where we have a completely new pattern
0:35
uh to provide better fit provide more
0:37
stability on the upper and also have a
0:38
better lock down on the heel where we
0:40
have also introduced this uh slingshot
0:43
on the heel to really make sure that the
0:45
heel is uh hugging like the shoe is
0:47
hugging your heel so that you don't have
0:49
any movement um while running on the
0:51
trails
0:52
which is particularly important with
0:53
that uh plated shoe so stiff.
0:55
Yes, 100%. Yeah, absolutely. Um then um
0:59
what we did in the midsole is we kept
1:01
the geometry because we tweaked around a
1:04
little bit with some of the geometry but
1:05
then the athletes felt that they lost
1:07
the feeling of speed. Um so we only
1:10
optimized the foam. So we made um a foam
1:13
that has better energy return than the
1:15
previous generation um but um really
1:18
kept 100% the geometry the same as we
1:21
had on the first generation of a graphic
1:22
speed ultra. And then one big change is
1:26
on the outsole. So we um wanted to make
1:28
the outsole a little bit more capable
1:30
than the first generation. So we have
1:32
now um decreased the amount of lugs, but
1:36
we made them higher um to make sure that
1:39
you have more grip in also bad weather
1:40
or more technical trails
1:42
and they're wider.
1:43
Yes. And also wider so they need to have
1:45
more surface to it. And then this shoe
1:48
remains our pinnacle racing proposition
1:50
and it's of course not for everyone. Um,
1:53
and we wanted to keep it like that
1:54
because we wanted to keep that special
1:56
feeling. But, um, in order to also cater
1:59
for more consumers, we now added this
2:01
new shoe to the range which is called
2:03
Graphic TT. TT stands for technical
2:05
trails and it's more for, yeah, rough,
2:08
rocky, um, less smooth running trails.
2:11
And as you can tell from the outsole,
2:13
the platform is much wider um, to really
2:16
give you much more stability on
2:18
technical trails, especially on the
2:20
mid-foot area. The lugs are also longer
2:22
and the overall rocker shape is less
2:25
aggressive than the Graphic Speed Ultra
2:27
and there's more flex.
2:28
Yes, there's more flex as well. Yeah.
2:29
So, you can see so it flexes more.
2:32
Yes.
2:32
We're definitely rocker with the other
2:34
one. M
2:35
then if you look at how the shoe is
2:36
built. So um the graphic speed ultra has
2:39
two layers of light strike pro which is
2:42
our super foam and it has the polyomite
2:44
energy rods which are very stiff uh
2:46
sandwiched in between for optimal energy
2:49
return out on the trails. But then the
2:51
graphic TT you don't want to have that
2:53
very bouncy feeling of energy return. So
2:55
we combined light strike pro similar to
2:58
what we have in the graphics speed ultra
3:00
on the middle area of the foot but then
3:02
you have this cradle on the outside
3:04
around with light strike plus which is a
3:07
non um superformoform. It's a normal EVA
3:09
but very soft still provides very good
3:12
uh shock absorption to save your legs
3:14
but it doesn't have the extreme energy
3:16
return to just give you more control out
3:18
on the trails. And then we have this uh
3:21
rock plate in between which is um
3:24
protecting your feet from rocks but also
3:26
has a little bit of energy return but
3:28
are this nowhere near as stiff as the
3:30
energy rods as you see on the graphic
3:32
speed ultra.
3:33
Is this the same material?
3:34
Yes, it's similar material. Um so it's a
3:36
polyomite material as a base but of
3:39
course completely different densities
3:40
and also the thickness. This is a very
3:42
thin one. This is rather thick and this
3:44
one is really like a yeah a spring. uh
3:47
this one doesn't have that much uh
3:48
return as the other one.
3:51
And in terms of when we might see these
3:53
available,
3:54
so the agraphic speed ultra is actually
3:56
already out now. So since uh few days
3:58
ago
3:59
and uh the graphic TT will come to the
4:02
US 15th of February next year.
4:04
How about overseas?
4:06
Overseas it's 1st of February. So it's
4:08
just two weeks earlier. Yeah.
4:10
Great. Well, thank you very much.
4:12
Thank you.
