Profile of the Saucony Lanzar Jav 2
Use - Equipped with durable and supportive materials, the Lanzar Jav 2 is configured to deliver optimal performance in throwing meets. Its fashion is one that specializes in assisting athletes in the javelin throw.
Spike Type - Since throwing events demand ample stability and surface grip, this track and field throwing shoe is outfitted with 11 pyramid spikes. These come in ⅜- inch in length for maximum traction.
Spike Plate - For durable, featherlight performance, the throwing spike is furnished with a Pebax® plate. It contains 11 spike receptacles to accommodate the removable pyramid pins of the shoe. With such composition, the track spike is able to address the different needs of the athletes.
Updates to Saucony Lanzar Jav 2
- One of the most important enhancements given to the Saucony Lanzar Jav 2 is the integration of Saucony's ISOFIT system. The same upper technology is found in other Saucony models such as the Showdown 4, Uplift HJ 2, and Unleash SD 2. It is responsible for the lockdown support provided by the throwing shoe.
- To better ankle support, the makeup of the shoe now features a ¾ profile. It is also intended to provide a comfortable fit for the wearer.
Size and fit
The Lanzar Jav 2 is listed in unisex sizing, patterned after men’s sizing measurement in medium width. Female throwers are advised to deduct 1.5 from their usual size preference.
The incorporation of the ISOFIT system in the upper of the shoe is responsible for its snug, sock-like wrap around the foot. For added security, a cross strap in the midfoot is utilized.
Outsole
Flaunting an outsole like that of its predecessor, the Saucony Lanzar Jav 2 exhibits a combination of both Pebax® plate and rubber outsole.
The spike plate of the shoe is famous for enabling the right balance of rigidity and weight, maximizing the propulsion of the athlete. It also employs flexible properties, permitting unrestricted foot movements for more natural flex.
Midsole
Located in the shoe’s midsole is a CMEVA foam. It is composed of TPU pellets that are heated then cooled in a mold. This material is tasked to supplement the cushioning in the underfoot, allowing comfort.
Such a component also presents a highly durable configuration, preventing natural wear and tear.
Upper
What makes a Saucony track spike is the reliable elements and proprietary innovations added to its overall construction. This is especially true with the Saucony Lanzar Jav 2. It sports the renowned ISOFT system from the brand. The upper technology is meant to adapt to the foot’s shape and size, providing glove-like, snug wrap around the foot.
The cross strap that runs across the midfoot pushes the foot down into the midsole, preventing any slippage and unwanted shoe removal.
A durable forefoot synthetic accommodates the foot into the platform while enabling security.
Lastly, for improved ankle support, the shoe is designed with a ¾ profile. It also prevents displacement of the throwing spike from occurring.
