It's no longer a "consumable" item, but an "equipment" item

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 greatest durability and comfort ever, and are designed to be an athlete's "equipment."

[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 inside their shoes
• Those who want a stronger fit and tighter fit

Now, let me tell you more about Ultimate ASO!

That unity is truly the glue

Ultimate ASO uses a grip called "Nanofront" on the sole of the foot. Nanofront is a nanofiber developed for the first time in the world by Teijin Frontier Co., Ltd. of Japan, and it has an ultra-grip that other fibers could not achieve.

It looks like any other anti-slip mat, but anyone who wears it is amazed at its grip.

The super grip of Nanofront makes your feet, socks and shoes completely integrated . Your feet will stay in place even during trail running, running or trekking (mountain climbing) with lots of ups and downs, giving you the feeling that you are running barefoot.

However, if we had to point out one drawback, it would be that the grip is too strong, which can cause a slight snag when putting on the shoes, and some people have commented that the shoes are difficult to put on.

To be honest, there was a lot of uncertainty within the company as to whether to prioritize ease of putting on the shoes or to maximize grip . However, we all agreed that it was better to improve performance during running and marathons, when the socks are worn for a long time, rather than the moment when the shoes are put on, and so we decided to increase the grip.

For this reason, I think these shoes will be the perfect pair for athletes who want to push their limits and break records in trail running or marathons.

The durability is approximately 13 times that of conventional socks!

Until now, the debate over sports socks has been over whether to prioritize functionality or durability. In the midst of this dilemma, where increasing functionality for running means decreasing durability, and increasing durability means decreasing functionality for running, OLENO has succeeded in achieving not only running performance but also durability through its unique manufacturing process.

The base of the Ultimate ASO is made from CORDURA® fabric , a material used by military forces around the world and 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 extremely resistant to wear , tearing , and abrasion , and provides excellent durability and sustainability even in harsh active situations such as trail running, trekking, marathons, and sports.

Lightweight and thin while increasing durability

As mentioned earlier, Ultimate ASO achieves both durability and driving performance, and one of its attractions is its light weight and thinness, which makes you forget you are wearing it.

Thanks to the CORDURA® fabric, the socks are durable and we've succeeded in thinning the sock fabric to the limit , so you don't feel like you're wearing socks, it's more like wearing shoes barefoot .

Many people prefer thicker fabrics for cushioning , but I think it's also a good idea to use socks with high cushioning for regular practice and then use them for important occasions like games. I've actually seen many top athletes use them in this way.

Of course, as a developer, I would also like people who are new to trail running and trekking to try it out.

Arch support and heel hold function reduce strain on the feet

In addition, the arch support function distributes the impact force on the foot evenly across the entire sole , allowing for a stable and comfortable run .

In addition, the shoes are equipped with a heel hold function to prevent the heel from slipping off or the shoes from coming off during vigorous exercise. It minimizes friction between the shoes and the heel, preventing blisters and shoes from coming off while running. In addition, it can be expected to further reduce the burden on the feet, such as shock absorption .

This concludes our introduction to Ultimate ASO.

They have a strong grip on the ground, are 13 times more durable than conventional socks, and are so light and thin you can wear them as if you were barefoot.

This is the perfect product for athletes who are constantly trying to break records in trail running and marathons , so please give it a try! Of course, it is also recommended for those who are not athletes but who do trail running, trekking, or marathons as a hobby.
