ALTRA's all-time best-selling road running shoe returns in the even more luxurious Plush 4.5 model. With a new pattern and knit style, plus a redesigned tongue, it has shed enough weight to match the TORIN Mesh made from mesh fabric, while the support sole remains the same (thicker than 2 mm).
Comes with the concept #LEANandMEAN Insanely light, like it's angry at someone
What happens when #KingOfMarathon in 2020, like the Plush model (28 mm), shed enough weight to match the Mesh model (26 mm)?
Like a heavyweight boxer cutting weight to match a middleweight boxer.
The lost 1 oz or 28 g might not be a big deal for a cutting board, but it's a matter of life and death for runners, especially long-distance runners (just think about the total number of steps taken to finish a full marathon).
The lost weight makes the ultimate long-distance running shoe, the TORIN Plush, weigh as little as the Mesh model, which was already famous for its light weight. But what remains different is that the Plush model still maintains the same 28 mm support thickness, without cutting or reducing specifications.
Equally light, but 2 mm thicker.
The Plush upper still uses the same knit (Engineered Knit). The lost weight comes from changing the knit pattern to be less dense, resulting in better temperature regulation and breathability (it doesn't get hot when worn), plus changing the tongue to be less bulky and fit more snugly against the top of the foot.
Featuring an extra-thick 5 mm PU insole that comes with the 28 mm Quantic™ sole, famous for its "softness".
Doubling down on "softness".

NRS – NATURAL RIDE SYSTEM
This is a key feature of the midsole and outsole, with 3 distinctive characteristics: a shape that follows the natural contour of the metatarsals, a Zero Drop™ platform, where the sole is the same height from heel to forefoot, and FootShape™, where the forefoot of the shoe follows the natural shape of the human foot without being too narrow or constricting.

.
MIDSOLE - QUANTIC™
The new Altra model is made from a special material that is soft, responsive, and lightweight. The midsole is also designed with grid-like grooves to help runners place their feet as desired while running, further improving running performance.
.
INNER FLEX™
This technology designs the midsole with flexible grid-like grooves. Its purpose is to help runners place their feet as desired while running without unnecessarily adding weight to the shoe or cutting out the impact-absorbing part of the midsole.
.
.
OUTSOLE - FOOTPOD
Helps the outsole flex to accommodate the foot in both the bone and tendon areas, improving movement efficiency and allowing for a freer foot strike while running.
.
.UPPER- BREATHABLE ENGINEERED KNIT UPPER
Features a new knit design that looks modern and stylish, with different patterns on the forefoot and sides. It offers improved breathability and flexibility, while also feeling softer and more comfortable.
