Description The GILL Tracetek is a purpose-built performance shoe engineered for professional parkour athletes navigating urban landscapes. It delivers multidirectional grip, precise flexibility, and advanced impact absorption so athletes can move seamlessly from rail to wall to rooftop. Every material and structural choice was validated through athlete testing and lab data to balance durability, mobility, and safety. This footwear empowers traceurs to perform at elite levels while minimizing injury risk, redefining what is possible in urban performance footwear.
Innovation • Combines a segmented midsole and outsole to allow independent forefoot and hindfoot movement, enabling smoother landings and directional agility during complex maneuvers.
• The 3D-printed TPU gyroid forefoot structure improves flexibility by 10% compared to leading parkour footwear, enhancing grip and control on narrow ledges and vertical surfaces.
• VytaFlex® outsole pattern improves traction by 5% on wet metal and dusty concrete compared to market leaders, reducing slip risk and boosting athlete confidence.
• Toe box and upper durability validated through 3200 RPM abrasion tests, ensuring resilience through repetitive wall strikes, slides, and high-impact landings.
• Developed with professional traceurs and benchmarked using ASTM testing methods to validate performance, ensuring each design element supports biomechanical efficiency and injury prevention.
Product Detail • Segmented outsole constructed with VytaFlex® 40 silicone, featuring honeycomb traction at the forefoot and angled grid patterns at the midfoot and heel for reliable grip on wet concrete, metal rails, and rough urban surfaces.
• Dual-density Poron XRD® and VytaFlex® midsole designed to absorb landing impact and stabilize the hindfoot during drops.
• Upper built from recycled 400D/500D Taslan nylon with TPU lamination and 210D Gridstop Dyneema® overlays for lightweight abrasion resistance and durability in high-wear zones.
• 0.4-inch forefoot platform incorporating a 3D-printed TPU gyroid core for barefoot-like flexibility, natural toe splay, and responsive ground feel without compromising structure.
• Quick-lock lace system with Stepace heavy-duty round laces for a secure fit and fast adjustments.
Specification • Available in unisex sizes US 5–13, with a universal performance last optimized for traceurs.
• Weight: 12.5 ounces per shoe (Men’s US 9)/ 355 g per shoe (EU 42).
• Color palette: Pantone 19-0814 TPX Espresso, Pantone Black, Pantone Cool Gray 1 XGC
• Designed for both men and women with reinforced toe caps and sidewalls for long-term wear.
