The Altra Running King MT 2 will arrive on the market next 2019 and promise to offer quality performance to successfully complete races on the most uneven terrain. This second version continues with the same line already marked by the original model, being a model especially indicated to face the demanding vertical kilometers. The versatility that characterizes this model remains intact, however, Altra designers have chosen to include small changes that will improve the user's running experience.
The new update of the Altra Running King MT 2 trail running shoes does not include radical changes from the original model, although we can see some aesthetic changes. While this model offers unbeatable performance to successfully complete short races and with great verticality, they do not renounce to provide superior stability and protection. Let's get right into the analysis of the main features of this model.
The midsole structure has not undergone significant changes compared to the Altra King MT. The Altra EGO material is still present, a compound that offers quality cushioning without increasing its density. This model continues with the drop zero trend, i.e. the thickness of the midsole is the same in the heel section as in the forefoot.
The upper of these King MT 2 fromAltra Running incorporates small modifications that seek to offer greater comfort and fit. This time, the upper includes translucent overlays, adding robustness to the shoe as a whole. Likewise, the Velcro strap present in the previous model is maintained in this latest update but its position varies. Thus, the runner will be able to enjoy a tighter and more effective fit.
The outsole has been specifically designed to offer the best possible adaptability even on the most uneven terrain. Its design incorporates Vibram Megagrip rubber, a compound that offers superior grip and traction. This new update has holes in the toe area, to promote greater water drainage in the race.
TheAltra King MT 2 men's trail running shoes are specially designed to successfully tackle the most vertical kilometers. This second update continues with the line marked by its predecessor and includes small modifications in the upper and toe area. All this with the purpose of offering a permanent and lasting comfort.
