ABOUT
The spikes we wanted hadn’t been made yet... so we made them ourselves.
And that’s how it all started. Granted when we’re talking about spikes the margins are small, but then again so are milliseconds and millimetres and those can be pretty important too... especially when it comes to competitive track and field athletics which is why so much effort has gone into creating the most scientifically advanced, super responsive and ultra-lightweight track shoes all designed to maximise efficiency in every way possible.
However, whilst the advances in track shoe technology are quite evident (and if you’re an athlete yourself then you may well be benefitting from a pair of the latest track shoes right now) the development of the actual spikes which go on the bottom and what makes these shoes ‘spikes’ seemed to have been left behind. We thought that spikes could be designed and made better. Precision engineered not only for extreme lightweight efficiency yet incredibly tough, durable and hard wearing. And for that we had to turn to one of natures strongest materials... titanium.
The metal of choice for critical aerospace components, titanium alloy is super strong, exceptionally light and combined with our unique internal stepped cavity design gave us the huge weight saving properties we were after. An optimised baseplate for more streamlined depth capability followed by a specialised aerospace grade surface treatment left us with something that we could only call the aerospike. Compare them to whatever spikes you’re using right now and you’ll know exactly what we’re talking about.
Aerospikes… for efficiency and performance at the highest levels there can be no compromise.
