Osaka IDō Mk1 Standard Fit hockey shoes

Description

The mantra behind the IDO Mk1 has always been: “The Athlete comes first.”

This performance hockey shoe aims to elevate your game to new heights by offering support, grip, and speed unlike anything seen in the game of hockey before.

It represents the start of a new era for hockey footwear.

We wanted to fill the disconnect between what was perceived to be a performance hockey shoe and what actually IS a performance hockey shoe.

Top minds from the athletic footwear industry have developed this shoe over the past 2 years to give you an edge over the competition and elevate your game to new heights.

Description

DECOUPLING

MOVE FREELY WITHOUT JEOPARDISING STABILITY

The I do comes alive with midsole decoupling that changes the behaviour of the
shoe without jeopardising stability. The foot in its natural form is a
completely decoupled structure, it has 26 bones and has over 100 ligaments
which all move independently of each other.
So, what decoupling does is when you apply a particular force to the bottom of
the shoe it separates so that you have more shoe in contact with the ground
when you need it, where you need it. Decoupling on the IDO is nonspecific so it
suits anyone and everyone, no matter your foot shape or function.

 

The “O” spot

BALANCED AND CENTRED

We have highlighted a part of the shoe called the “O” spot that is right
underneath the cuboid bone. This gives the spot the ability to bend so it does
not influence the rest of the foot and move independently. It represents a
balance centre point for agility, acceleration, and deceleration movements that
the hockey player has to adapt to on the field.

 

Stack Height

OPTIMUM POSITIONING FOR AGILITY

The closer to the ground, the less the penalty. Traditionally the height in the
back is usually 30 mm and the front 20 mm which gives a stack height of 10 mm.
The IDO MK1 height in the back is 26 mm and the front 18 mm with the result of
a 8 mm drop which brings the player closer to the pitch.

 

Engineered mesh upper

ATHLETE AND SHOE BECOME ONE

The closer to the ground, the less the penalty. Traditionally the height in the
back is usually 30 mm and the front 20 mm which gives a stack height of 10 mm.
The IDO MK1 height in the back is 26 mm and the front 18 mm with the result of
a 8 mm drop which brings the player closer to the pitch.

 

Sling system

ENGINEERED TO GO

The sling hugs the foot to the midsole of the shoe. We have kept the sling
system as close to the foot as possible to minimize the lateral movement of the
foot in the shoe. There is a sling system on the outside of the shoe as well as
on the inside to prevent the foot from sliding off the shoe giving it a snug
feeling and tighter lockdown. The slings on the inside are constructed using
Spenco Neoprene, which is shock attenuating, protecting the most vulnerable
parts of the foot while performing.

Toe box shell protection

PLAY WITH CONFIDENCE

To protect the toes from ball impact, a toe box shell protection has been
applied in the front. We have tested the toe box to obtain the optimum amount
of protection without carrying unnecessary weight.

 

Multi Directional Cleats

The grip characteristics of the IDO MK1 are unique
to the game of hockey. Running backwards, sideways, pivoting, and fast
acceleration forward – there is no direction that the cleats do not accommodate
for. A full contact outsole that offers full confidence in fast changing
directional movements and allowing rapid braking.
