Based on the mental games played before and during the ultra run. Facing the distance, the altitude, the darkness, the light and whatever weather conditions, runners have to accept and live with what’s to come. The meaning of sayonara is ‘farewell.’ with the possibility that we may not meet again.
Sayonara is the commitment to the journey ahead, not knowing what, when or where is at the end. sayonara is about the journey itself, not the destination. This is not a jog around the block.
The shoe.
Built on the flow and rise components, this is a 9mm drop shoe giving a lot of comfort. 4T2 added the famous vibram zegalite 5mm grippy rubber outsole which provides critical grip and minimal weight. The upper construction is minimal with a ripstop shell, reinforced with internal straps around the midfoot. 4T2added a protective toe bumper, but kept it light and flexible. The shoe is non-plated to keep that natural ground feel.
The execution.
This first edition of sayonara is designed in our ‘lone wolf’ theme, with hints of nature’s green added.
More details.
The new rise top layer delivers more heel and medial stability. 4T2 kept the ortholite x40 eco insole for best comfort, if you want to swap with your personalised insoles, you can. The upper of sayonara features a gusseted tongue to keep out debris. The tongue is slightly padded for comfort and we improved the heel lock with nice contoured padding as well. the fit is pretty normal and it is true to size.
Comparing sayonara to 'get lost'.
Key differences between the two are: get lost is 6mm drop, sayonara is 9mm. That means, a bit more heel lift, which results in easier ride on less technical trails. Get lost is slightly firmer, sayonara is like sundays; slightly softer; to accomodate your long run. The get lost upper is more protective and a bit heavier, sayonara is smoother and lighter without an outside toe bumper.
