Editor note
Victor's A970 platform evolved with NitroLite (nitrogen supercritical foam) midsole, replacing the A970 ACE's HyperEVA. Released 20 Nov 2023. Per Victor official: NITROLITE MIDSOLE + E-TPU + TPU + Carbon Power + Solid EVA, VSR rubber outsole, V-Durable+ + double mesh + microfibre PU leather upper, V-SHAPE 2.5 (V2.5) standard last. Lee Zii Jia (李梓嘉) endorses the Hawaii Blue/Black colourway; Anders Antonsen, Kodai Naraoka, Kenta Nishimoto, Wang Tzu Wei, and H.S. Prannoy use the pearl white. Community-measured weight (43 size, 275mm internal): ~344g per shoe — about 6g heavier than A970 ACE due to thicker upper materials. Sizing runs small; half-size up recommended. Breathability is the weakness vs vented speed shoes.
