Inov-8 has created a new shoe titled the 'ROCLITE 275,' and it features water-resistant properties due to a graphene-infused outsole. The ROCLITE 275 is currently available from Inov-8 for a $135 price point.
The outsole of the ROCLITE 275 shoe was built for tough terrain, the graphene-infused rubber design was tested in order to be 50% stronger than a conventional outsole. Additionally, the polygonal lugs on the bottom of the shoe provide an enhanced grip.
The ROCLITE 275 also has shock protective qualities. The company utilizes arrows to show consumers how much shock protection a shoe provides, Inov-8 shoes will have anywhere from zero arrows to three arrows, where three arrows signifies maximum protection. Inov-8's ROCLITE 275 has two arrows, which means it will offer some shock protection while also being a pliable shoe.
