If the Inov-8 Trailroc 235, 245, and 255 were characters in a movie, this would be the official trailer:
And, if I weren't already über-excited about the release of these new trail shoes, that little video would have sealed the deal for me. I imagine that there are a lot of Inov-8 fans out there who share my eagerness to try out the Trailrocs.
Happily, those of us in the US are just a few short weeks away from having that opportunity. Several sources indicate that the Trailroc will be available in early August to US retailers. One online shoe store goes so far as to suggest that you pre-buy a pair of the Trailroc 245s and 255s before the shoes ship on July 30. (Use your own judgement there)
Another online shoe store posted a nice sneak peek of the Trailroc on their blog along with this nifty product shot.
Anyway, there's not much point to this post. I was feeling particularly shoe-centric just now and felt like sharing.
Happy running!

Awesome video. Great trail scenery.
ReplyDeleteLove Inov-8, and currently run in F-Lite 230, and Road-X 233. Trying to decide between X-Talon 190, Roclite 285, and Trairoc 245 for Medoc Mountain race in the fall.
ReplyDeleteSome interesting colorways, and shoes from Inov-8 ... not sure if they are market specific, or coming soon to US:

I ran the Medoc Trail Marathon in Roclite 285s in 2010. They were great shoes for the course! However, if I were running that race this year, I'd probably choose the Trailroc 245s so that I could have something with a lower differential. The X-Talon 190 would probably be cool, too. But, the outsoles of the former two make more sense at Medoc. I ran the 10-mile race there last year in my 230s. And, they were just fine, though.
