okay we're with Ryan ekel who's the
0:03
chief marketing officer at diodora
0:06
Italia and um he's going to talk to us
0:09
about the nucleo 2 we actually I've
0:12
already tested it Sam's already tested
0:14
and reviewed it it's a really fine shoe
0:16
a great uh daily trainer um that sort of
0:20
bridges between neutral and stability
0:22
but Ryan's going to give us the full
0:24
Lowdown go ahead Ryan thanks yeah this
0:27
is New nucleo 2 been out for a few days
0:30
it's our uh daily trainer that's spent
0:33
for your for that's just stack miles
0:35
it's a neutral shoe it's uh a really
0:40
really nice uh midsole compound that
0:42
feels great under fooot the fit is uh
0:45
the Tina's been perfecting the fit for
0:46
the past couple years and uh yeah this
0:49
is this this is a shoe for everything
0:51
from your easy runs to your long runs to
0:54
your cover days to everything in between
0:56
and uh yeah we love it it's uh it's the
1:00
that you know all of us the Theodora
1:02
team are putting in the majority of our
1:03
miles in these days and we're we're
1:06
excited about it tell tell us a bit
1:08
about the uh midsole geometry cuz I
1:10
really noticed I I tend not to like uh
1:14
kind of the stability sidewalls but here
1:16
we have something quite different and I
1:18
definitely felt it uh that Groove below
1:21
and if you could flip it over Ryan uh
1:24
what we have here uh underneath here by
1:27
the uh on on the lateral side so it's
1:30
really neat what you've done so tell us
1:32
a bit more about what the intent was
1:34
here to not make the stability
1:36
overwhelming yeah so it's a neutral shoe
1:39
but as shoes get get softer and then a
1:41
shoe like this which is a highly
1:43
cushioned shoe they tend they tend to
1:44
roll a little bit you know they don't
1:46
address out the midso so what we did is
1:49
we worked on shaping the midso
1:51
Excavating certain areas of it to allow
1:54
it to essentially guide the foot through
1:56
the transition the right way with
1:57
minimizing R so we have it has support
2:01
we call it inherent support uh in in the
2:03
way that the shoe is constructed but it
2:04
is a neutral shoe and so it allows you
2:07
to to sort of run confidently without
2:10
having to worry about to really any roll
2:13
um and just give you like a nice solid
2:15
underp feel also providing the the
2:17
cushioning that that you want for a shoe
2:19
that you're going to be doing a lot of
2:20
miles yeah and the ddan foam is one of
2:24
my favorite training Foams um we had it
2:26
in the cellula and others it's it gives
2:29
you a really
2:30
kind of lively rebound but it's well
2:33
controlled it's not Mushy Mushy soft but
2:35
it has a tremendous amount of shock
2:38
absorption I find that's that's like the
2:40
it's pretty amazing um and so this is a
2:44
really fine uh new Option I think and um
2:49
as deodor is going forward what tell us
2:51
a bit more about the company in Italy
2:54
