Impact deflection rails guide force away from joints

No this isn't the next $2500 Balenciaga faux-runner, this is something cooked up in the early 2000s. The ProGrid Triumph 4 perfectly encapsulates the early '00s aesthetic every high fashion designer seems hell-bent on reappropriating to sell back at 10x the price. Thankfully most of the big players from that era still exist, and they know a think or two about making shoes...

Looking like something from the future and packing more shoutouts than a NASCAR team, the ProGrid Triumph 4 is both wild looking and technology packed. The shoes feature three main technologies. There's a HRC strobel board under foot, with

SRC 'Super Rebound Compound' heel crash pad for impact absorption. The namesake ProGrid cushioning features through the midsole for a comfortable ride once the SRC heel takes the brunt.
