Everybody, we're here at Sakin at the
0:03
running event with Luca, who's the
0:05
director of product engineering, the
0:08
foam guy, too. So, Luca, tell us what
0:11
you have here and what to expect. And
0:14
there's some neat stuff going on.
0:15
We have the allnew Triumph 24 and the
0:19
Hurricane 26. And this is where I'm
0:20
going to get super excited to talk about
0:23
incredux. This is democratizing the
0:26
foams that we're bringing in from a
0:28
dynamic foam property and we're bringing
0:30
these into models that are just going to
0:32
help elevate the experience of them.
0:34
Sam, I like to say that everything is
0:36
going to start floating away pretty
0:38
soon. And I will tell you, your scale is
0:40
going to be very happy when you scale.
0:42
You got to get your scale. Well, once
0:43
you put these on your scale, you're
0:44
going to be very happy to hear about the
0:46
weights of these shoes. The new foam
0:48
with the new Triumph 24, 8.8 O. The
0:52
hurricane 26 9.2 oz.
0:54
That's the men's.
0:55
That's the men's.
0:56
Mints.
0:57
Men's. That's very light. But the
0:59
incredible part is talking about
1:02
incredux. It's part of this incredible
1:04
incredo
1:06
family that we're starting to build out
1:07
as a portfolio where they have truly
1:10
dynamic properties. We're using a 100%
1:13
alifhatic TPU.
1:15
ATPU.
1:16
ATPU. 100%. We're not cutting it with
1:18
anything else. Pure ATPU. Ultra highra.
1:22
It's providing very good energy return,
1:25
but also something that we focused on.
1:27
This is going to be a leader with energy
1:29
absorption. It's going to feel like
1:30
you're just walking on a very bouncy
1:32
cloud, and it's going to fit great on a
1:34
shoe like this one.
1:35
Vibration reduction.
1:37
Vibration reduction. The interfacing
1:39
between the ground and the person
1:41
wearing it. It's going to help cancel
1:43
that out.
1:44
Excellent. And now we have the Triumph
1:46
and the Guide. How is
1:47
this? This is the Hurricane.
1:49
Hurricane. The Hurricane takes the same
1:51
approach from the Triumph. We have our
1:53
neutral shoe and our stability shoe.
1:55
We looked at the geometry specifically.
1:57
The Hurricane is very important from a
1:59
platforming standpoint.
2:01
We looked specifically at the geometry,
2:03
making sure that the medial side has the
2:06
correct contouring in order to provide
2:08
that stability platform that we're
2:10
looking for. But we also incorporated
2:12
and we slightly re-engineered the
2:14
chassis to the power run frame which
2:18
helps aid in the stability aspect of
2:20
keeping the hurricane planted to be sure
2:23
that the overall stability of the shoe
2:26
still stays as a leading
2:28
and the ATPU is in the center.
2:30
The ATPU is in the center and through
2:31
the top.
2:32
Excellent. Now, approximately when will
2:35
they be available and the pricing?
2:37
These two shoes are going to be
2:39
available in I believe April and May.
2:43
I'll have to double check that.
2:44
I believe it's $170 on the Triumph and
2:48
180 on the Hurricane.
2:49
Excellent.
2:49
Asterique.
2:50
Yeah. Okay. And you know what's really
2:52
neat is Sakccin is leapfrog to the ATPU
2:55
foam which I think is the best out there
2:57
these days. As I mentioned before, we're
2:59
democratizing these ultra exotic foams
3:02
and we're bringing them down into a
3:04
price point where it's available to
3:06
everybody. This is an exciting world
3:08
that we live in.
3:09
Excellent. Can you can you show us the
3:11
the plate that you just or not?
3:14
I can absolutely show you.
3:16
What do we look at? This isn't a shoe.
3:17
This is a an exploded view. What do we
3:20
got going?
3:21
We have going on here. This is the new
3:23
midsole design on the Elite 3. And I
3:27
brought this specifically due to the
3:28
fact that Incredun as a phone has been a
3:31
huge hit for us. It's truly disrupted
3:33
what Hyperones and Hyper shoes are
3:36
bringing to the table for your ultimate
3:37
race day excitement. The one thing that
3:40
we did look at, especially on the Elite
3:42
3, was the carbon fiber plate. As you
3:46
know, we had the original technology for
3:48
these slotted plates, which helped
3:50
articulate through the forefoot to help
3:52
add some natural movement through your
3:54
gate cycle. But something that we found
3:56
was with the foam, we wanted to aid in
4:00
that stability. We wanted to enhance
4:02
speed roll technology on tow off. This
4:04
is where building in these ridges. As
4:06
you can see here, this is the the
4:09
stiffness that's adding far more into
4:12
these fingers, specifically on the
4:14
carbon fiber plate, which is adding a
4:16
whole new experience that's wrapped up
4:18
with a foam that's already proving
4:19
itself as
4:20
So, will I feel like a even more
4:22
pronounced forward roll?
4:23
Yes, you will. And what about the rear?
4:25
The softness of the rear. That's
4:27
the rear. The rear softness. It's why we
4:29
specifically engineered the plate in a
4:31
way where we were extending back many of
4:33
the ridges. That'll add
4:34
correct. This went through a few
4:36
iterations. We ended up landing in this
4:39
zone for the geometry in order to
4:41
provide that maximum stability factor
4:43
while telling the story around the the
4:46
non-Newtonian effect that the phone
4:47
provides when you're putting your
4:49
maximum effort into Now, um, if you can
4:51
say when will more or less the Elite 3
4:54
come?
4:55
The Elite 3 will come in July of 2026.
4:58
Oh, thank you. Yeah. Okay, great. Thank
5:00
you, Luca.
5:01
Thank you, sir.
5:02
Great stuff from Sakin. Super duper
5:04
phones.
5:05
Super duper phones.
5:07
Thank you.
5:07
Thank you. of 10.
