The new Altra Torin 9 features an exclusive Vibram XS DURA compound outsole designed with more grip and traction for myriad surfaces on short, long and fun runs.
The Vibram outsole provides 8.5 percent more grip than the Torin 8 and a new level of traction. For years, the Torin has been the pick for runners who want plush, balanced cushioning without giving up Altra’s natural-running roots. The Torin 9 keeps the same Altra Fit and zero-drop platform, but now with a new dual-density midsole built for a more stable ride.
“The Torin built its reputation on one promise: comfort that doesn’t quit,” said Kylee Barton, Head of Global Product and Merchandising at Altra. “The 9 is us making good on that promise again––same room for your toes, same plush ride, just better than ever.”
Also launching is the Torin ST. It features Altra’s signature GuideRail technology for added stability and Altra EGO MAX midsole foam for a light, smooth feel.
What’s New
- Vibram XS DURA Outsole: An entirely new compound from Vibram, exclusive to Altra for six months — the only place runners can get this level of road traction right now.
- New look, same feel: A reshaped heel, elevated tongue and breathable mesh upper, with the same Altra Fit that leaves room for toes to splay and a zero-drop platform that encourages natural movement.
- P35X™ Dual-Density Foam: A new midsole, firmer on the outside and softer on the inside, built for a comfortable, stable ride.
“The Altra Torin 9 marks another important milestone in our partnership, introducing Vibram XS DURA for the first time. Together, we developed a new outsole compound engineered to deliver the durability, grip, and confidence runners need,” said Fabrizio Gamberini, Global Chief Brand Officer at Vibram. “It’s a great example of how close collaboration and material innovation can elevate the everyday running experience.”
The Torin 9 and Torin ST are available at $160 MSRP at altrarunning.com and select retailers globally.
