Running shoe ENDA KOOBI FORA, made in Kenya

ENDA KOOBI FORA

KOOBI1
The name KOOBI FORA comes from an important archaeological site near Lake Turkana
north-west of the Kenyan country, where the most ancient fossils that belonged were found
to Homo Rudolfensis.

KOOBI FORA is a TRAIL RUNNING shoe ideal for medium distances (up to 40-50
km) and if used by performing runners it is also suitable for more demanding distances.
Like the rest of the ENDA collection, it is a neutral, light and comfortable shoe that he prefers
quick supports and an efficient run.

Here are the characteristics of the KOOBI FORA

The upper is in thin multilayer mesh, resistant and breathable but with a closed weave for
eliminate the entry of macro-dust and is coupled, both in the internal medial portion and
external, by 4 thin heat-sealed bands that, once the lacing is completed, allow the
upper to wrap the foot and make it one with the shoe. These heat-sealed inserts
in their external portion of the upper they also become laces-loops precisely for
generate a custom fitting.

KOOBI2

There is no traditional lace-up tongue (TONGUE ) which is replaced by a thin e
non-constricting sock in highly breathable perforated mesh that prevents little ones
pebbles and solid residues from entering the collar inside the shoe that integrates
perfectly with the heel collar.
KOOBI3
Contrary to what normally happens with similar solutions normally adopted,
the tension of the collar is delicate, especially in its front part, and does not affect the
speed of fitting of the shoe and on the sliding of the foot inside it.

The construction of the lacing system, as already mentioned, provides for large buttonholes
where the laces pass and integrates a trapezoidal flap that increases the protection of the back
of the foot by covering the special construction of the entrance sock in the body of the shoe.
This particular construction allows you to tension the lacing in an optimal way
creating a stable fit also thanks to the binding buttonhole for the laces and not constricting for the
peripheral circulation of the dorsum of the foot.
KOOBI4
To highlight the light TPU insert to protect the first metatarsal and all the fingers
that wraps the entire tip at 180 °, without being invasive for the fingers themselves during
dynamics of movement of the foot inside the shoe. This like in the other models
ENDA is possible thanks to an increased volume of that specific area of the
shoe.
KOOBI5
The heel counter is semi-rigid to stabilize the rear foot, which is useful for reducing
the torsional effect of the shoe during the support phases of the midfoot in order to
allow the Achilles tendon to work in line with the pushing forces. The collar is instead
soft thanks to the delicate sponges used inside. There is also a webbing
with ring to facilitate the fit, tape that in addition to having designs attributable to the
Kenyan culture printed the name ENDA.
KOOBI6
The midsole used is the same as on the ITEN but is integrated by a thin sheet
full-length nylon to change the stability and protection characteristics of the foot
in typical Trail running situations.

The midsole is in blown EVA, very balanced and with a low profile, in fact it has a
front - rear differential of 4 mm (Drop) that invites you to search for the best support
possible of midfoot. The fact remains that in the back, in the heel area, there is
an insert that increases the cushioning, protection and overall stability of the
footwear whose details we will see in a few lines.

KOOBI7

The front design of the midsole is therefore lowered compared to the standard of footwear
traditional and well suited to the increased volumes of the upper, where the toes of the
feet, to allow that natural enlargement of the metatarsal structure in the phase of
support and thrust even more important in off-road.

To reduce the torsional effect of the shoe, in addition to the aforementioned thin nylon insert, the part
rear of the midsole, in the heel area where there is the second layer of EVA (colored in
contrast) wraps the foot welcoming it with a slightly cupped shape to limit the
lateral movements of the foot, useful device in quick changes of direction as well as
for the aforementioned overall stability of the shoe.
KOOBI8

The sole is in solid rubber with high resistance and traction, and is in full contact with the
ground with the particularity of having flexion grooves just in front of the metatarsals
they generate 2 areas of different sizes, a smaller one positioned under the big toe and the other
greater for the remaining 4 fingers. This solution is closely related to the choice to have
a wider area for the support of the fingers so that in the pre-detachment and detachment phases
metatarsal joints are in a position to express maximum efficiency.
The sole which has a slightly increased thickness, when compared with the models
road, has a design that allows a good MUD RELISE (mud release) even if the
footwear is not born for particularly muddy soils but the particular design leaves
uncovered the lugs in the shape of a spear point to ensure optimal traction. The anchors do not
they are very deep to limit that unpleasant feeling of tessellation when running
on harder surfaces. From this point of view, also the horizontal recess placed at the medial level
it allows to dissect the more robust portion of the meso foot (the internal one) from the more
light (external) offering the latter a greater support surface.
On the toe of the shoe the sole rises towards the toe protection insert while maintaining it
same design and tessellation to guarantee traction even in situations where it is necessary
making the most extreme tip of the shoe work.
KOOBI9
Also not to be overlooked are the small rear recesses that work to not block
completely the torsional effect in that portion of the shoe. In the medial portion
inside, just above the word HARAMBEE the sole without the 3 small holes present on the
ITEN to increase the protection of the underlying midsole.
KOOBI10
The removable insole , in light and shaped EVA, aims to balance comfort and
contributes to the overall cushioning of the shoe in relation to the presence of the thin
kevlar sheet already mentioned. And as also mentioned in the beginning, the shape of the shoe is
traditional in the medial and posterior part, while the anterior area, where the fingers are lodged
and the metatarsals is slightly wider than the standard one is normally accustomed to,
this trick is essential to allow the toes to always find
adequate space in the phases preceding the detachment, when the metatarsal area tends,
lowering, widening to optimize the thrust phase and increase the feeling between the foot
and land.
KOOBI11
Also for the KOOBI FORA there is no lack of details related to the Kenyan culture, and in addition to the
mentioned tape to facilitate the fit, we find on the midsole is the word HARAMBEE.
Harambee (Ha-rum-bay) is Kenya's official motto, which in Swahili means
"let's all get together" and is used to refer to times when communities come together
to accomplish something that individuals could not do on their own. The detail of 12
grooves in the outer portion of the midsole are the reference to the date of 12 December,
Jamhuru Day, the day when Kenya gained independence in 1963 for a year thereafter
after exactly becoming a republic.
KOOBI12
Printed on the heel buttress we then find the symbol present in the center of the flag
Kenyana or the Masai shield with 2 crossed spears whose stylized tip is the logo of
ENDA.

The logo is present both on the upper and on the sole, as if to leave a trace of the
passage of Kenyan culture; on the laces passes the figure 1470 which recalls the
KNM-ER code 1470 which was the acronym that identified the remains of Homo Rudolfensis found
in the archaeological site of Koobi Fora.

Finally a note on the color charts where the variety of colors of the ENDA models and theirs
pairing takes up the characteristic colors of the plumage of some of the most common birds
of the highlands of Kenya.
