Integrates feet, shoes and socks
This time we would like to introduce the Ultimate ASO, the most popular trail running socks from the ULTIMATE series, which is the culmination of OLENO's soul .
These are the ultimate trail running socks for athletes who want the highest level of durability and comfort, backed by testing , and their concept is to be the "equipment" of athletes who are hungry to win.
[Recommended for these people]
- Those who participate in strenuous exercise such as trail running, marathons, and track and field
- Those who want to break records in trail running or marathons
- Those who are concerned about blisters caused by their feet slipping out of place in an instant
- Those who value strong tightening and fit
Now, let me tell you more about Ultimate ASO!
Anti-slip strength is at adhesive level
Ultimate ASO uses a silicone rubber anti-slip material on the soles of the feet, providing ultra-grip performance that sets it apart from conventional running socks.
It looks like any other anti-slip mat, but anyone who wears it is amazed at its grip.
(Difference in grip compared to regular sports socks)
The super grip, as seen in the video above, keeps the soles of your feet in place like glue. Even during trail runs and trekking (mountain climbing) with lots of ups and downs, your feet won't slip and you'll feel as if you're walking barefoot .
The only problem is that the grip is too strong, which can cause the shoes to get caught when you put them on, making them difficult to put on.
However, we thought it would be better to improve performance during trail running and marathons rather than just the moment when you put on your shoes , so we improved the grip .
For this reason, I believe these shoes are the perfect choice for athletes who want to challenge their limits and break records in trail running or marathons.
Anti-slip not only on the soles of your feet, but also on the tops of your feet and ankles
To be honest, the silicone rubber on the sole alone does not fully integrate the foot, sock, and shoe. In order to ensure a tight fit between the foot and the shoe , we have inserted a fiber called " Nanofront" around the instep and ankle (see photo below) .
Nanofront is an ultra-fine fiber developed by Teijin Frontier Co., Ltd., and boasts an astonishing fineness of 1/7,500th the cross-sectional area of a single strand of yarn .
The finer the fibers, the more points of contact there are with the immediate fibers, and the greater the frictional forces .
This nano-front part creates a grip inside the shoe, completing the integration of the foot, sock, and shoe. I think this sense of unity is the reason why the Ultimate ASO is so popular.
They are 13 times more durable than conventional socks!
Until now, the debate over running socks has centered around "functionality" or "durability."
The CORDURA® fabric used in the base of the Ultimate ASO is a material used all over the world and is recognized worldwide for its durability, versatility and reliability.
In fact, OLENO conducted durability tests to check their strength, and found that they were approximately 13 times more abrasion resistant than conventional nylon socks!
Sorry for the rough image,
You can also see the durability test in the video .
It is resistant to wear , tearing and abrasion , and provides excellent durability and sustainability even in hot and active scenes such as trail running, trekking, marathons and sports .
Lightweight and thin while increasing durability
As has been developed since then, Ultimate ASO has achieved both durability and driving performance, and one of its attractions is its light weight and thinness, which makes you forget you are wearing it.
The CORDURA® fabric gives them durability, but we've also managed to make the sock fabric as thin as possible .
Many people prefer thicker fabric for cushioning , but I think it's best to wear socks with high cushioning during regular practice and thinner fabric for important occasions like matches.
Next, as a developer, I would like people who are new to trail running and trekking to try wearing it at least once.
Arch support and heel hold function reduce strain on the feet
In addition, it also has an arch support function, which is a support function used in shoe insoles, etc. It distributes the impact on the foot to the entire sole , allowing for a stable and easy run .
(To put it simply, it supports the arch of the foot from below, helping to reduce fatigue even when running.)
It also has a heel hold function to prevent the heel from slipping or the shoe coming off due to strenuous exercise .
This concludes our introduction to Ultimate ASO.
In addition to the grip of the soles of the feet that can penetrate the floor firmly, the socks have a grip that allows the feet, socks, and shoes to be integrated. In addition, they are about 13 times more durable than conventional socks, and are light and thin enough to be worn as if barefoot.
We think this is the best running gear for athletes who continue to break records in trail running and marathons, so please give it a try! Of course, it is also recommended for non-athletes who do trail running, trekking, or marathons as a hobby.
