hello it's Mike P from Road trail run
0:01
I'm here with Sean from Las portiva he's
0:04
got the prodig prodigio line here and
0:07
he's going to
0:08
demonstrates some new features of these
0:11
Pro Models for us and plus the
0:13
max the max model as well go ahead Sean
0:18
all right uh so exciting new updates
0:20
here we're continuing to build off of
0:22
the prio line going into uh 2025 this is
0:26
going to be the prio Pro which launches
0:29
this spring
0:30
it's their super shoe for the mountains
0:32
so new materials that are fast and
0:36
responsive but a big uh kind of call out
0:39
with issue in comparison to its
0:40
competitors is that it still can really
0:43
hold its own in highly technical terrain
0:46
I can start with the midsole here brand
0:48
new midsole
0:50
materials called explos speed it's a
0:53
nitrogen infused TPU that is then
0:56
encapsulated with nitrogen infused Eva
0:59
so ends up being High responsive as fast
1:01
as other shoes out there on the market
1:04
um but a little bit more durable as well
1:07
on top of that for the upper is a a new
1:11
material uh we're calling uh power wire
1:15
so it's a TPU coated poly it's really
1:19
going to hold that foot in place while
1:21
maintaining breathability um and being
1:24
super light so the shoe ends up coming
1:27
in at just below 99 Oz so 8.9 o for men
1:32
super light with that stack height and
1:34
with a pretty substantial rubber outsole
1:37
as well so we have the Brand's stickiest
1:40
rubber compound they friction white
1:42
rubber and deep lug so increase the lug
1:45
depth in comparison to the fio so really
1:48
going to handle that technical muddy
1:50
terrain
1:53
well then one other call out is uh it's
1:56
a strobis construction uh so remove that
1:59
makes a little bit softer Under Foot and
2:02
then also increases the amount of
2:04
cushioning we can have without
2:06
increasing stack height
2:09
there pretty excited that the shoe was
2:11
able to come in at under $200 for a high
2:13
performance racer so
2:15
$15 it'll be available this spring I
2:19
love this collar amazing yeah every
2:22
Trail shoe needs it it's great a little
2:25
bit more stability as well perfect thank
2:28
you all right and then
2:31
next we have the prodigio max this is
2:34
going to launch uh this fall hopefully
2:37
available right before UTMB so another
2:40
addition to the prodigio line this is
2:42
going to be no surprise the maximal
2:44
cushion daily driver similar
2:47
characteristics in the msold what we see
2:49
with the pro has that nitrogen infused
2:52
uh TPU mitole but it's going to be a or
2:55
insole insole sorry but it's going to be
2:57
a little bit softer Under Foot so this
2:59
is is going to be more responsive little
3:01
higher density softer in the max a and
3:05
then encapsulated in the uh nitrogen
3:08
fused Eva as well still have those nice
3:12
4mm lugs it's going to be the stickier
3:15
Compound on the forefoot a little bit
3:17
more durable on the
3:19
heel then on the upper have a new upper
3:23
material as well we're calling Comfort
3:25
wire some similar aspects to this but
3:28
it's going to be a little bit more
3:29
forgiving still very lightweight and me
3:32
both these closed little more closed
3:35
keep debris out a little bit more um you
3:38
know bit more comfort and protection for
3:41
those longer
3:43
efforts and then another call out for
3:45
both of these is that you know sits on a
3:47
very wide platform and the fit reflects
3:49
that it is a very wide toe box for those
3:52
of you that have tried l sportas in the
3:54
past this is going to fit a little bit
3:56
differently and be a little bit more
3:58
accommodating especially in the for foot
4:01
yes that looks great I mean Ultra
4:03
distances definitely want to have that
4:05
and this is just a different color way
4:07
is that a this is the women's this is
4:08
the men's and then it comes in at uh 165
4:11
us okay thank you very much Sean of
