Upper that fits with a rare wire
Feature ① Wire attached to the belt Feature ② Extra thick belt Feature ③ Textured surface The wire is connected to the shoelaces, and when tied, it holds the entire foot in place, creating a sense of unity between the foot and the spike. This mechanism holds the foot during the crucial step in triple jump, reducing wobbling. Next, the extra thick belt. While the belts from Japan's MIZUNO and ASICS tighten firmly, the Triple Jump Elite can be secured with a belt that is about three times thicker, making the belt the star of the show. Finally, the meaty textured surface that covers the entire upper is created by a synthetic resin film with holes over synthetic fibers. These holes achieve both durability and breathability, allowing for relatively less stuffiness during competition.
Soft upper for a snug fit with the wire
Regarding the width of the toe area, it is comparable to other companies' triple jump spikes. If anything, it is slightly narrower. The heel area is also made larger, making it easy to put on. Additionally, since the upper material is soft, it does not feel hard and difficult to wear like other spikes, allowing for a sneaker-like sensation when putting on.
Sole that allows you to feel the ground, maximizing jumping skills
With only six pins, which is overwhelmingly few among triple jump spikes, the grip (the ability to grip the ground) is weaker; however, the reduced friction between the pins and the ground improves the feeling of release, making it harder to decelerate. Also, since the sole is relatively soft like the upper, it allows for a better feel of the ground. The combination of fewer pins and a soft sole suggests a design that encourages thinking about how to perform hop-step-jump without losing the momentum from the approach using the soles of the feet. Furthermore, the EVA material used in the soft sole (midsole) is water-resistant and lightweight. For this reason, the Triple Jump Elite is made to be very lightweight compared to other triple jump spikes.
Just the right curvature of the sole
Regarding the curvature of the sole, it is somewhere between the general Field Geo AJ/MIZUNO and Triple Jump PRO/ASICS. However, as mentioned above, since the entire spike has a soft structure, the actual feeling of the curvature is not as pronounced as the numbers suggest.
