Okay, we are at the OnBoo at TR 2025 in
0:04
San Antonio, Texas with Penny who is
0:07
going to take us through An's latest uh
0:09
trail shoot.
0:10
Yeah. Uh thank you. Welcome. Um so what
0:14
we have at Nunes in this season on the
0:15
trail world um is the cloud soma. So the
0:18
cloud soma is a complete new technology,
0:20
a new way we build the midsole. Um for
0:22
us at on um we call this cloud tech
0:26
connect. So the way this midsole is
0:29
built is separated into individual pods
0:32
and pistons of the midsole from the
0:35
outside of the shoe. But if you would
0:37
look in the inside, if I would rip this
0:38
upper out, the same structure is
0:40
mimicked on the top of the shoe. So the
0:44
purpose of this is to give this proper
0:45
section proper reception the
0:47
transmission of the terrain back to the
0:49
foot
0:51
and and allow a a thick sole to be much
0:53
more flexible and
0:55
100% more sensation.
0:56
So we want the shoe to flex and move
0:59
together with a natural motion of the
1:01
foot
1:02
and we want to give the shoe all the
1:05
freedom to operate in the trail but what
1:07
is interesting we want the cushioning
1:09
still. So we want a a layer of
1:10
cushioning. This is a Helen HF foam. So
1:12
this is a hyper foam, an autoclave foam
1:14
for the industry term.
1:15
Yeah. So we'll swing.
1:16
But it provides still the prop
1:18
perception feeling because each
1:19
individual piston is moving and adapting
1:22
to the ground and transmitting that to
1:24
the bottom of your foot cuz the bottom
1:26
of the foot usually have a lot of
1:28
receptors that are capturing the all the
1:31
prop perception of your foot. So this is
1:33
transmitting the trail up to your foot.
1:36
One example is like when you run, if you
1:38
would take the shoe outside and we go
1:39
for a run, you run from a gravel road to
1:41
a forest road to a rocky terrain, you
1:43
feel the transitioning of the terrain on
1:46
your foot, which is really interesting
1:48
from from our innovation team. The
1:49
concept was being aware or a bit more
1:51
awareness where you where you're running
1:54
in, which is the opposite of the max
1:56
cushion and the noise cancelling. It's
1:59
like go out in the forest, enjoy the
2:00
forest,
2:01
experience it more.
2:02
Exactly. Experience nature a bit more.
2:04
We're super stoked to this. This has
2:05
been a 5year uh innovation pipeline. It
2:08
took us 3 years to get the shoe ready.
2:11
So many complexities on building a shoe
2:13
like that because we wanted to approach
2:15
it from the simplicity side of it. So
2:17
it's a single layer piece. It's a single
2:20
layer sock. Minimize the stitchings
2:23
around the shoe and a single layer
2:25
midsole without an insole or a sock
2:28
liner because that what enables the
2:30
technology to to activate the bottom of
2:32
your foot.
2:32
Got it. It's a beautiful shoe. And uh
2:35
when is this coming out?
2:36
This is in 2026. And this new shoe is
2:40
the first one of a whole family of shoes
2:42
with that technology,
2:44
right? And uh uh roughly price point is
2:47
that
2:47
$180 already confirmed. Yeah.
2:49
Yeah. And the how thick is the the sole?
2:52
So I don't have the exact stack now.
2:54
It's like 33 mm if I'm not mistaken. Uh
2:56
I can confirm that to you.
2:58
At the heel.
2:59
At the heel.
3:00
So it's not a minimal stack. It's not a
3:02
max stack. in between.
3:04
And is there anything else that uh is
3:06
coming out next year that you'd like to
3:08
show us?
3:08
Uh yes. So this is the cloud uh Soma. We
3:13
have also the new cloud vista.
3:15
So the cloud vista has been one of the
3:17
main franchises on the trail range.
3:21
That shoe existed already for five years
3:23
for us as
3:25
the this is the third generation so
3:27
called Vista 3.
3:29
We took the same approach as previous
3:31
Vistas, but what we wanted to do is the
3:33
shoe a bit more capable trail shoe. So
3:35
the Vista has always been our road to
3:37
trail shoe. We wanted to elevate uh the
3:40
Vista 3 as a perfect road to trail plus
3:44
it can take you to any trail you want.
3:45
Like we tested this in the Alps. We
3:47
tested this to 1,000 km in terms of
3:49
durability on the upper. Um it carries
3:53
the cloud tech construction of the as
3:55
you might have known from the Vista 1
3:57
and Vista 2 but we have more aggressive
4:00
broker more aggressive road to toe
4:03
transition.
4:05
We the lug profile changed quite
4:08
drastically from the previous
4:09
generation. So the lugs a lot bigger. Uh
4:12
the configuration of lugs follow the
4:14
engineering and the learnings from the
4:15
cloud ultra pro.
4:18
A lot more durability, a lot more grip.
4:20
So that elevates the proposition of the
4:22
Vista already to a whole new level and
4:25
the upper engineering of the materials
4:27
of the upper. This is a super high
4:29
abrasion coat to the yarn that we have
4:31
situation
4:32
which bring the shoe. So it's a quick
4:34
drying material as well. So it brings
4:36
the shoe to a whole new level of how far
4:39
can you take it in the trails and on the
4:41
durability side of it. But obviously
4:44
it's a shoe it's a mess shoe for us like
4:46
anybody can run this shoe. Um, so the
4:48
fit and feel, the comfort inside, the
4:50
the extra lining, the the cushion
4:52
lining, uh, it's all there as the
4:54
previous generations of the Vista is. So
4:56
it's being loved by millions of people.
4:57
And then we wanted to make sure this is
4:59
one more capable, but love the same way.
5:01
Lovely. And when's this coming?
5:03
This is coming also 2026.
5:05
And you would also have the waterproof
5:08
version of the model
5:09
as well, launching the same scene.
5:11
And the price,
5:12
the price for this is $160.
5:14
And And how much uh what's the stack
5:16
height? Uh
5:18
uh it's uh 29 mm on the heel
5:21
on on the Vistas. Yeah.
5:23
Yeah. Lovely. And do you know the drop?
5:25
How?
5:26
I don't know. It's okay. I have it on.
5:29
We'll look at the specs and put that
5:31
spec.
5:31
Thank you so much, Hen.
5:32
Awesome. Thank you so much.
