okay we're with Russ the product manager
0:03
at toppo athletic and you'll see a bit
0:07
more about the toppo difference in fit
0:09
we sure feel in every shoe but Russ is
0:11
going to go through some of the 20 uh 25
0:14
late 2024 shoes some were already
0:17
testing but go ahead Russ he's the
0:19
product manager he he's the guy thank
0:21
you Sam so the first product I'll talk
0:23
about is going to be coming in January
0:25
this is the New Aura from too athletic
0:28
this is going to serve as the max option
0:30
or line that provides light peration
0:31
support it'll feature a stock height of
0:34
38 mm in the heel and 33 in the 4ot so a
0:37
5 mm drop and is going to what we call
0:39
use what we call our y frame system
0:41
which is a posting system that extends
0:43
both on the lateral and medial side of
0:45
the shoe more robustly on the medial
0:47
side to provide light pronation support
0:49
and it's a a little bit firmer foam than
0:51
the car than the rest that's right yeah
0:53
so it's a bit firmer on that post um
0:55
versus the rest of the minil which is
0:57
just a little bit
0:58
um and it's designed is just a cradle to
1:01
put so it sits neutrally over the center
1:03
of the
1:04
platform um this proct like I said is
1:06
going to be coming in January it'll
1:08
retail for 165 and weigh about 10.9 o in
1:12
a men siiz nine thank you Russ now what
1:15
do we have next next up we're going to
1:18
talk about the
1:21
new Phantom ah the new FY 4 is going to
1:25
be coming in May and is an update to the
1:27
Phantom which is the best selling shoe
1:29
on our line today
1:30
the Phantom is the high cushion neutral
1:32
shoe within the too athletic line
1:33
designed for the person looking for a
1:35
daily trainer for their daily miles long
1:38
runs recovery days and even Fitness
1:39
walking this new version is going to
1:42
feature a slightly higher midsole um
1:44
with a 35 to 30 mm platform so still 5
1:47
mm but a 2 mm increase in the stock rate
1:51
the midso foam also becomes softer just
1:53
for a more responsive and cushioned ride
1:55
underfoot and we've also updated the
1:57
outsole design um which will feature a
2:01
kind of C Construction in the heel
2:02
allowing for some flexibility back there
2:04
for a softer landing and then more full
2:06
rubber coverage in the for foot for a
2:08
nice stable toe off and some more
2:10
responsiveness as that outsole um kind
2:12
of firms up the mid uh the for foot of
2:14
the shoe the upper on the shoe is still
2:17
a nice engineered uh polyester
2:20
delivering a really secure fit through
2:21
the midfoot and heel and of course that
2:22
signature Topo athletic uh roomy toe box
2:25
in the for foot uh Russ just to
2:27
interrupt you um we've always noted no
2:30
matter what your foot shape we have many
2:32
foot shapes at Road trail run from wide
2:34
to narrow that the toppo fit I mean I'm
2:36
being honest is always fantastic for
2:39
everybody so what's the secret more or
2:41
less in
2:43
brief okay how did this happen thank you
2:46
for saying that Sam it means a lot well
2:48
it's a lot of work from different parts
2:49
of the team I think really starting with
2:50
our last we used almost the same last on
2:52
all of our product and that's last seems
2:55
to fit really well for a variety of feet
2:56
to deliver that signature Topo fit of a
2:58
roomy toe box and secure fit through the
3:00
midfoot in the heel after that we have
3:02
an excellent production team
3:03
manufacturing our shoes to meet meet our
3:05
quality standards and a really nice
3:07
comprehensive wear test program to make
3:09
sure that thit consistency is being
3:11
delivered across all of our botles so
3:13
those three factors working together
3:14
allow us to deliver a fit that um we
3:16
feel it's one of the best it's always
3:18
exceptional so it works keep doing it
3:21
keep doing it okay what do you got next
3:23
um let me just say I think this 145
3:26
deler I don't know if I mentioned the
3:28
okay that's cool yeah I'm not sure but
3:30
thanks for repeating yeah thank you um
3:33
after that let's shift over onto the
3:35
trail so I know you're shooting
3:37
continuously would that's okay oh here
3:39
we go
3:41
yeah the New Vista oh so the Vista is a
3:44
brand new product from tofo athletic on
3:46
our Trail line and is going to serve as
3:48
the max fush option designed for
3:50
technical Trail so it's going to be the
3:52
highest St heite we've ever offered on
3:54
the trail with a 38 to 33 mm platform
3:57
featuring an aggressive VRA Mega grip
3:59
out
4:00
uh using 4 mm lugs for excellent
4:02
traction and slip resistance and kind of
4:05
a segmented design to allow that midsole
4:08
to flex underneath the foot kind of
4:10
adapting to the terrain as you're
4:11
running over it excellent idea we're
4:13
also going to be using our new fkt
4:16
footed on this which is currently being
4:18
used in the pursuit Traverse and
4:20
Traverse uh made to using TPU beads
4:22
which delivers a really nice soft
4:24
stepping feel and it's also a closed
4:26
cell foam so it doesn't hold as much
4:28
water as an open cell foam me the F
4:29
drains and dries quickly after a stream
4:31
to or if you're called out in um the or
4:34
otherwise get your foot wet out on the
4:35
trail I know they've been really
4:37
effective and popular with all our
4:39
testers and they even put them in other
4:41
shoes so so keep doing tpus thank you
4:45
and this will come out in June and we
4:46
retail for 170 the weight will be around
4:49
10.9 o in a men size now thank you okay
4:52
I think you got me do you have one more
4:54
uh we'll do one more yeah one more the
4:56
last one to talk about is also behind
4:59
you here and that is our new Mountain
5:01
racer oh so the Mountain racer 4 going
5:05
to be coming in June I'm sorry going to
5:07
be coming in May um the Mountain racer
5:10
is an update to the Mountain racer 3 and
5:12
is designed to be kind of that cushioned
5:13
option for running over technical Trail
5:15
I like to say that at this point
5:16
Mountain racer is almost almost misn
5:19
it's really the most popular training
5:20
option for folks running technical Trail
5:22
in the too athletic line today it still
5:25
features a 33 to 28 mm midsole pot for
5:27
him just a little bit of a softer
5:29
gometer than the previous version and
5:32
continues to use that aggressive Eber
5:33
micro grip outsole that we have on the
5:35
Mountain racer 3 which was really a uh a
5:38
proven product people loved a lot about
5:40
what we had on the Mountain racer 3 so
5:42
as you can see we didn't try and uh
5:43
necessarily reinvent the wheel here we
5:45
wanted to deliver a very similar product
5:48
with a couple of functional updates the
5:50
other nice update here is that we're
5:51
moving to our fkt insole on Mountain
5:53
racer 3 as well same as the Vista for a
5:56
very lightweight and uh comfortable uh
5:59
stepping field
6:00
I'm sorry a very uh cushioned and
6:01
comfortable step and Fuel and then again
6:04
that is that closed cell foam which
6:05
allows the water to drain and dry more
6:07
quickly out of the shoe um this will
6:09
come in may like I said we'll retail for
6:12
150 and will weigh about 10.4 o in a men
