The Ampla Fly Running Shoe

The new Ampla Fly running shoe has been designed with a carbon-fiber, spring-like flange intended to load under pressure and launch forward as the foot lifts off the ground. It will debut to the public in early in mid-February at select running stores across the U.S. with a $180 retail price. Here is a glimpse of the shoe, including a few shots taken during lab tests at P3 Applied Sports Science in Santa Barbara. (Photos by Scott Draper and Brian Metzler)
