Tecnica showed off some impressive new shoes at the 2011 Outdoor Retailer Summer Market. The new X-Lite series of outdoor and trail running shoes featuring TRS (Tecnica Rolling System) X-lite technology. Like their othe rTRS models, the X-lite shoes have an over-sized, lightweight platform for stability and performance on the trail. Below are a couple of samples:
The Dragon X-lite features a suede upper with what Tecnica calls “approach shoe precision lacing.” Meant to be the ultimate hybrid shoe, it’s appropriate for hiking, running and for use as approach shoes to your favorite crag. It will be available this spring in men’s and women’s versions in various color combinations. Personally, I dig the Denver Bronco colors.
Also in the lineup is the Inferno X-lite.It has a mesh upper, asymmetrical quick lace system, and is built as an ultra light, semi oversized trail runner. Also available this spring, the Inferno X-lite will come in men’s and women’s versions.
The Spider X-lite is a synthetic/mesh upper, semi oversized trail runner with a precision fit sock construction.
