01. MEET DARIMATI VT-001
The Super-Grip Hybrid Training Shoe We started with a shoe built for urban running and stable movement. Shaped by 4,000+ customers and 200+ coaches and athletes, it evolved into a true hybrid platform.
VT-001 Elite takes that evolution further — built for HYROX, circuit training and hybrid racing, where running, lifting and explosive movement collide.
02. SUPER GRIP
Most running shoes are built for straight-line speed.
VT-001 delivers extreme grip where hybrid performance demands it most — from HYROX sled pushes and pulls to box jumps, hard stops and explosive direction changes.
A full-cover CPU high-grip outsole gives you the traction to brake, cut, push and drive — while keeping the cushioning and energy return you expect from a running shoe.
03. WHY GRIP MATTERS
Jump. Push. Carry.
Then run again.
And when traction falls short, athletes feel it immediately — slipping on sleds, losing stability under load, and struggling to stay in control through fast transitions.Less grip means less control.
03-1. THE GAP
We saw the gap between running shoes and training shoes.
One side was built for speed and cushioning.
The other was built for grip and stability.
But hybrid athletes don’t stay on either side. They run, stop, turn, push and lift — often within seconds of each other.
They needed both, but neither category was built around that constant transition.
So we built for the space between.
Not another running shoe.
Not another flat trainer.
A hybrid platform built around speed, grip, stability and transition.
To make that work, five performance elements had to come together.
04. THE ANSWER
Running-shoe energy. Training-shoe grip.
Control through every transition.
Hybrid racing always comes back to the run.
After every station, every push and every carry — you run again. That’s why we kept energy return at the heart of VT-001.
Responsive cushioning and energy return, built for repeated runs.
From heel to toe.
Results from BR-001, built on the same 100% ATPU platform as VT-001.
Because in hybrid racing, the run always comes back.
GRIPStay in control when the movement changes.
A full-cover CPU high-grip outsole, built for the moments running shoes usually aren’t.
Sled pushes, hard stops, sharp turns and loaded transitions.
More grip means more control when the race stops being a straight line.
PENDING OUTSOLE
A proprietary lug layout designed in-house to create traction across forward, backward and lateral movement.
Quick through every transition.
We rebuilt the upper to remove unnecessary weight, so the shoe feels lighter through runs, jumps and rapid changes of movement.
Stable where you need it. Light where you don’t.
*VT-001: 7.6oz (216g), US 8 (260mm). Average 9.2oz (261g), based on 479 running shoes in RunRepeat testing.
EASY LACE. READY TO RACE.
A sock-like upper wraps closely around your foot, while the race-ready lacing system lets you fine-tune the fit in seconds.
Once locked in, it’s designed to stay secure through sprints, jumps, lunges and fast transitions.
Lace it. Lock it. Race.
Built to breathe through high-intensity sessions.
A lightweight knit upper helps heat and moisture escape as the effort builds — keeping your feet cooler and more comfortable through runs, stations and repeated transitions.
More airflow. Less heat. Keep moving.
One hybrid shoe.
Jump hard.
Stay in control. MOVE DIFFERENT.
