Okay, we're with Ben Stewart who is the
0:01
VP of product development at Sketchers
0:04
and he has the Arrow Razor to present to
0:08
us today. Wow. Go Ben.
0:10
Hey guys. Uh happy to be here with you
0:12
today. Yeah, the the Razer uh for spring
0:15
summer 26 is something that we're super
0:17
excited about here. Really taking a lot
0:19
of inspiration from what made that Razer
0:22
3 so special. fantastic combination of
0:25
responsiveness, lightweight, durability
0:28
in a package that uh will really serve a
0:31
different purpose uh for different
0:32
runners. It could be somebody's everyday
0:34
shoe and it could certainly be
0:36
somebody's uh uptempo workout day. Take
0:38
it to the track and uh pick up the speed
0:40
and cadence. So, from a tech
0:42
perspective, underneath we have this uh
0:45
fantastic Goodyear rubber outsole with a
0:48
bit more of a durability focused
0:50
compound in the heel and a more of a
0:53
grip focus compound in the forefoot to
0:56
ensure great traction. That midsole
0:59
stack height is 3632 for a 4 mm drop. So
1:04
we have added 6 mm of foam from its
1:07
predecessor but we've also reduced the
1:10
weight by almost 15%.
1:13
So what how did you do that and what's
1:15
the weight? What's this foam?
1:16
Yeah so it is a new formulation of
1:19
hyperburst pro which is our super
1:21
critical aliphatic TPU. uh and uh we
1:25
have reformulated it to ensure a lighter
1:28
weight but also a bit more compliancy, a
1:30
bit more of a fun ride. Um out of that
1:34
midsole, we've also introduced the Hwing
1:39
um component into the midsole. So, it's
1:42
actually pinned in and uh it provides a
1:45
nice little guidance through midfoot uh
1:47
and through toe off to just ensure the
1:50
integrity of the midfoot forefoot of the
1:52
shoe. So before the H plate was
1:54
basically sitting under the strobal
1:57
board.
1:57
Correct. In prior samples the the H-
2:00
wing was top loaded sitting between the
2:02
insole and the midsole. And here we've
2:04
actually pinned it into the midsole
2:06
itself.
2:07
So that'll make for some foam above. And
2:09
what will we feel?
2:10
Yeah. A bit more of a uh a system
2:14
working in unison a bit more naturally
2:16
and correct uh more foam between the
2:19
unit and the foot. How much flex do we
2:22
have?
2:22
Yeah, we have a nice amount of snap and
2:25
rigidity, but it is still appropriately
2:28
flexible. Um, so it works naturally with
2:31
the foot and balances that with great
2:34
responsiveness.
2:35
And there's an amazing weight and price
2:38
here.
2:38
There is. So, we've gone uh down
2:42
substantially in weight. So, a men's
2:44
size 9 is clocking in at 6.9 O and a
2:47
women's size 7 is right about 5.6. 6 O.
2:51
Amazing.
2:52
And and how much would the will the cash
2:55
register show? That's another amazing
2:56
number.
2:57
So, the shoe here will be available in
2:59
February for a retail of $140.
3:02
Wow. That is a great value and a totally
3:06
state-of-the-art shoe. Well done. Well
3:09
focused, Ben in Sketchers.
