Slam One Design Trainers

Slam One Design Trainers. Experience the SLAM OD Shoes, a refined evolution of a performance favorite. These sneakers boast an ultralight, breathable, and fast-drying technical mesh upper for unparalleled comfort on and off the water. The legendary VIBRAM no-marking sole ensures exceptional grip, even in wet conditions, without compromising durability. A redesigned internal structure, integrated with the lacing system, provides superior lateral stability during heeled sailing, while ankle padding and a supportive heel enhance retention. The gusseted tongue keeps debris out, and the optimized midsole and footbed offer all-day comfort and stability. With a naturally comfortable fit, including a slightly wider forefoot, these shoes are designed for secure footing and exceptional performance. OD Shoes are one of the hero products of the One Design collection. The project was born from the intention to evolve a shoe already appreciated for performance and reliability, working in a targeted way on materials, comfort and support, without overturning its functional balance. The VIBRAM no-marking sole remains unchanged from the previous model: same compound, same rubber mix, the same high level of grip even on wet surfaces. A conscious choice, because deck traction is one of the most recognised and appreciated features of this shoe. The grip is engineered to deliver maximum hold without compromising durability, avoiding overly soft compounds that would wear out quickly. The main evolution concerns the upper, which has been completely redesigned. The fabric is an ultralight, high-tenacity technical mesh, extremely lightweight, breathable and very quick-drying. Even after immersion or washing, the shoe dries in a very short time, making it ideal for use on board or on a RIB. Despite the increased softness and flexibility of the material, lateral stability remains excellent, a key factor when sailing with the boat heeled. This result is achieved through an internal foot-holding structure, visible through the upper, designed to provide stability when the boat is heeled. It is integrated directly into the lacing system: when you tighten the laces, the structure itself works to keep the foot firmly in place without making the shoe rigid. Padding around the ankle collar and supportive foam at the heel enhance comfort and foot retention, while the gusseted tongue improves fit and helps prevent water and debris from entering. The interior is designed to keep the foot stable, with a new midsole featuring optimised density and a more supportive footbed in the heel area. In terms of fit, OD Shoes confirm one of the brand's historic strengths: a comfortable shape with a slightly wider forefoot, ensuring stability, secure footing and comfort even for wider feet. A small internal bar limits lateral torsion, improving control without compromising sensitivity.Features:- Ultra Light Breathable Tech Mesh Fabric- Fast-Drying Fabric- No Marking Vibram® Sole With High Performance Grip Also In Wet Conditions- Gusseted Tongue For Enhanced Fit And Comfort- Foam Padding Along The Collar For Enhanced Comfort And Support- Reinforced Inner Structure For Better Support- Transparent MeshSpecifications:- Fabric: 66% Polyrster, 34% Nylon High Tenacity- Lining: Light polyester jerseyCare:- Do not iron- Do not bleach- Do not dry clean- Do not tumble dry- Do not wash. tradeinn Waveinn
