PRODUCT DETAILS
-
DECOUPLING
- MOVE FREELY WITHOUT JEOPARDISING STABILITY
- The Ido comes alive with midsole decoupling that changes the behaviour of the shoe without jeopardising stability.
- The foot in its natural form is a completely decoupled structure, it has 26 bones and has over 100 ligaments which all move independently of each other.
- So, what decoupling does is when you apply a particular force to the bottom of the shoe it separates so that you have more shoe in contact with the ground when you need it, where you need it.
- Decoupling on the IDO is nonspecific so it suits anyone and everyone, no matter your foot shape or function.
-
THE “O” SPOT
- BALANCED AND CENTRED
- We’ve highlighted a part of the shoe called the “O” spot that is right underneath the cuboid bone.
- This gives the spot the ability to bend so it does not influence the rest of the foot and move independently.
- It represents a balance center point for agility, acceleration and deceleration movements that the hockey player has to adapt to on the field.
-
STACK HEIGHT
- OPTIMUM POSITIONING FOR AGILITY
- The closer to the ground, the less the penalty.
- Traditionally the height in the back is usually 30 mm and the front 20 mm which gives a stack height of 10 mm.
- The IDO MK1 height in the back is 26 mm and the front 18 mm with the result of a 8 mm drop which brings the player closer to the pitch.
-
ENGINEERED MESH UPPER
- ATHLETE AND SHOE BECOME ONE
- An engineered mesh upper is the lightest option available without jeopardizing durability or strength for foot lockdown.
- This upper is noticeably light and breathable and has been designed not to hold water.
- The IDO MK1 engineered mesh upper offers confidence to the athlete when they push the limits.
-
SLING SYSTEM
- ENGINEERED TO GO
- The sling hugs the foot to the midsole of the shoe.
- We have kept the sling system as close to the foot as possible to minimize the lateral movement of the foot in the shoe.
- There is a sling system on the outside of the shoe as well as on the inside to prevent the foot from sliding off the shoe giving it a snug feeling and tighter lockdown.
- The slings on the inside are constructed using Spenco Neoprene, which is shock attenuating, protecting the most vulnerable parts of the foot while performing.
-
TOE BOX SHELL PROTECTION
- PLAY WITH CONFIDENCE
- To protect the toes from ball impact, a toe box shell protection has been applied in the front.
- We've tested the toe box to obtain the optimum amount of protection without carrying unnecessary weight.
-
MULTI DIRECTIONAL CLEATS
- The grip characteristics of the IDO MK1 are unique to the game of hockey. Running backwards, sideways, pivoting and fast acceleration forward - there is no direction that the cleats don’t accommodate for.
- A full contact outsole that offers full confidence in fast changing directional movements and allowing rapid braking.
-
ANATOMICAL LAST
- LAST COMES FIRST
- The starting point of every shoe design is the last.
- The last determines the comfort and performance characteristics of a shoe.
- Traditional manufacturing methods prevented last innovation to move towards contouring the plantar surface, UNTIL NOW!
- The Ido is unique because it is built around what’s called an anatomical last, in fact, it’s the first field hockey shoe to ever be built using an anatomical last.
- Traditional lasts are flat on the bottom whereas an anatomical last is completely contoured to the shape of a foot.
- When that’s translated to the shoe, it means you sit in the shoe with full surface contact rather than on top of the flat midsole.
- Fast Drying Mesh Upper
- Strategical Cleat Composition
- Heel Deceleration
- Ankle Lock Lacing Option
- Foot grabbing/stabilizing eyestay system
