Tech Fall 2.0- A Reimagined Take on a Classic

Originally debuting for the 2016 Olympics in Rio, the first Adidas
Tech Fall was one of the most innovative wrestling shoes ever at the
time. Made to be extremely light and have extreme traction it was a shoe
made too early for its time, and the price point reflected that. Now, a
little over four years later, Adidas has re-opened the Pandora’s box of
the Tech Fall line and has worked their magic to create an even more
innovative product at an attainable price point. The Tech Fall 2.0 is
the perfect all-around shoe that is great for a beginner and the
well-seasoned athlete. Built with a reinforced upper from the inside
out, the Tech Fall 2.0 is built with great amounts of flexibility,
support, and grip that any champion athlete could ever need. Modeled
after the famous Kendall Cross Adistars, named for the 1996 Olympic gold
medalist, the Adistar was one of the hottest shoes of the late 90’s and
early 2000’s. The era of scrunchies, windbreakers, spikey hair, and
NSYNC to put in perspective how long ago THAT was. Built with modern
materials the Tech Fall 2.0 builds upon the slightly outdated infamy of
the Adistars. The Tech Fall 2.0 was inspired by this classic but has
modern twists that allow it to perform at a high level.

The Tech Fall 2.0 pairs a tall boot-style cut with highly breathable
mesh material that allows for the shoe to be both extremely breathable
and lightweight. Considering that a tech fall in folkstyle wrestling is
15 unanswered points, a wrestler has to move pretty quick to achieve it.
The knitted upper on the Tech Fall allows your feet to feel dry and
weightless allowing you to start off the match on the right foot. Coming
with increased lateral support, stability, and strength, you can be
rest assured that the Adidas Tech Fall 2.0 will never crack under
pressure. Supporting the underbelly of the shoe is a suede midsole
coming in multiple colorways that doubles for increased individuality
and strength to decreased wear and tear. The rubber-gum sole has
traction areas that run up the sides of the toe, heel and mid-foot area.
The superb traction paired with lightweight build will have your feet
stuck to the mat like fly paper in every position allowing for maximum
drive and power. Whether powering through a shot or in a sticky scramble
the Tech Fall won’t fail. Closing off the Tech Fall 2.0 is a wrapping
tongue that allows for superb sock-like comfort and a secure lacing
garage to keep your laces strapped down in the heat of battle. Coming in
a size run from a 6.5, to a size 16, the Tech Fall 2.0 is the perfect
grappling shoe for any athlete looking to up their game. The first-class
build with modern materials, paired with the classic silhouette, allows
the Tech Fall 2.0 to be the shoe of future Mat Wizards and wrestling
All Stars
