hi we're with Dave Lanny from Craft he's
0:02
the tech rep and of course I'm sure
0:04
you've seen him on the trails he's going
0:06
to give us a an important update on some
0:09
changes to Craft's superb
0:12
underfoot experience but it's the uppers
0:14
we're going to talk a lot about today
0:17
okay Dave go ahead yeah thanks so much
0:19
so the biggest thing with craft what
0:21
we've heard from reviewers and consumers
0:24
is that they love our underfoot feel and
0:26
the ride of the shoes but what they're
0:28
missing is that uh that security and
0:31
protection in the upper basically they
0:33
were too high volume and not enough uh
0:36
not enough support in that upper
0:37
material so in 2025 we'll have new lasts
0:41
and new upper construction on every shoe
0:43
in the line so we're really excited
0:45
about kind of providing that better fit
0:49
uh and better stability better security
0:51
in every single shoe we make from door
0:54
to Trail uh to gravel so what we're
0:57
looking at here is the Nord light old
0:59
ult ra Pro so norl light Ultra Pro will
1:02
get a new uh Victoria outsole this is
1:06
the Brazos tire pattern really good
1:09
traction on both wet and dry a new
1:12
midsole compound so we're using that
1:14
nitrogen infused Eva and we added 15%
1:18
peba to that midsole compound so you
1:20
before you had a a nitrogen infused
1:22
straight Eva correct now you're adding
1:24
15% oh excellent yeah so it'll be a
1:27
bouncier ride more energy uh that's it's
1:29
a 6 mm drop so that midsole will stay
1:32
the same in terms of geometry so that
1:34
ride everyone loved will stay the same
1:37
and then a brand new upper so new lower
1:40
volume better wrap through the midfoot
1:43
little bit more heel counter and uh just
1:46
overall is there a gusted in the tongue
1:49
yeah well you can see kind of the wrap
1:51
down in there can see yeah so you'll
1:55
it'll stay nice and secure and keep your
1:57
foot on the platform roughly what
1:58
happened to the weight or any changes to
2:01
weight and stack height pretty much
2:02
stayed the same stack height stayed the
2:04
same okay very cool thank you what what
2:06
else you got yeah we've got the brand
2:09
new pure Trail Pro oh so pure Trail Pro
2:14
again got a brand new upper and a new
2:16
fit still a lightweight engineered mesh
2:19
but it's going to fit a lot better we've
2:21
got some more TPU on the overlays to add
2:23
protection and a little more structure
2:26
more heal counter as well added 15% PE
2:30
to the mid so it be bouncier and then a
2:33
super sticky Victoria outsole so this is
2:36
a great shoe for uh for mud or for
2:39
Alpine environments real technical Trail
2:42
specific shoe excellent and Avail both
2:44
of them rough availability and price

3:02
so this will be a TPU mesh uh little bit
3:06
more padding and support in that heel

midsole and the same out soole so we've
3:14
