Inov-8Men's Tri-X-Treme 225 Raven Lime White Trainer

Retail: R1,400
About

The Tri-X-Treme 225 is a stripped back speed demon, which brings the foot closer to the ground, increasing proprioception. A breathable mesh upper allows air to fully permeate, whilst a succession of synthetic overlays reinforce its construction. The Dynamic Fascia Band replicates the anatomical position of the plantar fascia ligament and duplicates the foot's ability to utilise the windlass effect, accommodating a more natural running style. A 3mm heel-to-toe drop brings the foot closer to the ground, improving proprioception and decreasing overall weight. Additional features include a quick-release toggle system and a large shoe opening allowing the foot to enter and leave the shoe at speed. A sticky/fusion Tri-X-Treme outsole compound ensures the shoe remains grippy on all surfaces, particularly when wet.

ARROW SYSTEM

Can natural ability be learned?
The short answer is 'Yes'. The long answer: 'Hell yes'.
Our feet have been taken down the wrong path too long. 
Seek natural movement. Let the foot control the shoe.
 

Years before anyone else inov-8 pioneered the 'Arrow System', reducing differential from heel to toe, helping athletes improve their own performance. 

inov-8 products starts at 3 Arrows. You can start wherever you like. 3 Arrows gives the biggest heel to toe drop in the inov-8 range, about half that in overly cushioned overly structured shoes. As you drop arrows you tend to drop weight and cushioning, you tend to gain proprioception and speed. Reach Zero for a pure performance shoe – lightweight, stripped-back and fast. Dominate-the-race kind of fast. 

Athletes not yet conditioned for natural running choose 3 Arrows. Same goes for those wanting a shoe for long endurance sessions, although we do tailor our products to each terrain. If you're introducing stripped back shoes into shorter sessions choose 2 or 1.
