@MadRockClimbs is launching the completely new Shark 3 shoe for 2024. This shoe is the culmination of all the rubber molding technology they've been developing and refining over the last 20 years. There so much that has gone into such a feat of engineering and shoe design, yet they're keeping the price at $120 for the U.S.! Impressive work MR, well done.
You can compare the Shark 3 to every other shoe on the market (once they're available) at weighmyrack.com/shoe
Madrock is such a good company keeping that price point is insane.
Your joking right?
Something not mentioned here, and maybe they only finalized it fairly late for production, but the horizontally sliding elastic top of the shoe is actually secured by a hidden inner velcro system. This means that you can have near-unlimited resizing options for the volume of the shoe, once you've found your perfect length-wise fit. It's a COMPLETE game changer in the world of customized performance fit for the masses (vs bespoke shoes for pros).
These are by far my favorite shoes now and make the rest of my collection feel out-of-date. MadRock is absolutely on-point with their innovation, from the fin heel to now their volume adjustment system - just incredible!
Thank you for the update!!! That sounds like an incredible feature!!
Can't wait! All my shoes have been Mad Rock because their heel fit my narrow heel very well! Other shoes like La Sport, Tenaya and Scarpa always have dead space around the heel for me. I really love my Shark 2.0 and Drone 2.0! Thanks Mad Rock for keeping the price accessible while providing high performance and high comfort shoe.
Mad Rock is a company for the people! Thanks to the team for giving us awesome shoes throughout the years.
“It’s sensitive and powerful at the same time.” Just like Kenny is!! Super stoked for these, can’t wait to put ‘em on!
As a big guy with a size 15 street shoe, I appreciate you guys pushing the size range up. I've reached out to most major manufacturers and they've all flat out said there will be no expansion on their performance lines so I'm very stoked to hear you guys mention pushing the range.
Went to the HQ and Andrew mentioned that I could custom order a Drone 2.0 in a 15 - is that an option for the Shark 3 when it releases?
My favorite shoes just got updated!! Exciting
Keeping the price at 129 is insane, I’m already sold. Those prices are akin to deep discounted LaSpo / Scarpa boots.
Sure but there is also a high difference in quality. I really wasn't convinced by the build quality of Madrocks (for example the Remoras). The bonding between the edge rubber and the sole is coming loose in several places and this is a known problem that is not being addressed. This never happened to me with 5.10 (before Adidas), SCARPA or La Sportiva. Since I resole my shoes several times, I prefer to pay for a good foundation. Also there are good alternatives to Italien brands. One example for low price and high quality is Ocun.
However, the friction of the Madrock rubber is excellent.
I have heard from others about the edges of the shoe splitting, but it seems like with the new shoes having the 3D rubber mold, this won't happen anymore @@scherry2900
@@scherry2900the delaminating between rand and sole was addressed - all their shoes since then are one piece moulded. Drone, Drone CS, and the new Sharks here follow that principal.
@@scherry2900 i mean it literally is being addressed; all their new shoes are molded so can't delaminate
@@imlhm true 😁👍
I tried Mad Rock shoes for the first time a few months back, I ordered a pair of Shark 2.0s. I got them for very cheap on sale just looking for some cheaper beaters for the gym but after a couple sessions to get used to them I was blown away, they far outperform the price point (especially since I caught them during a big holiday sale). They feel great and fit my foot perfectly but what really blows me away is the rubber. They're still sticky as hell. I then ordered a pair of Drones that were also on sale and I love them too for outdoors. For the price point these shoes are far nicer than I expected them to be.
What about the size? Compare with La spo or Scarpa
@@alvisebordignon4010 It's hard for me to compare to either since I've only ever really tried them on at demos and stuff, I came from Evolv shoes. They're supposed to fit your street shoe size, both of mine are and fit me well. The Drones are snug to pull on so I'd imagine downsizing them could make them pretty hard to get on.
@@alvisebordignon4010 Hey there! Ideally you're able to try our shoes on in-person for the best fit, but we know that's not always an option. For most of our shoes, we typically recommend sizing true-to-size with your street shoe as a baseline.
I've never had Mad Rock shoes before until Drone CS and I have nothing but good things to say about them. Will definitely try out the new Drones and Sharks as well.
If you try them came back here and tell me!!!
bruh add that heel to the Red Line Straps as well as the concaved soul. i love that you added more to the heel ridge
Super excited for this one. I've had the Drone HV and those I found to be too stiff for me, switched to Evolv Zenist and found them to be soft and comfy but I struggle a lot with small edges, especially since I have an injured left leg. This seems like a possible end-game shoe for me.
So psyched for this shoe and so happy you kept the soul of the Shark in the new version! Also this overview video is excellent, the candor is so refreshing. A video like this should be the norm for climbing shoe releases in the industry!
hell yeah, hope these are as goated for toehooks as the last gen.
Drone 2.0 hands down the best shoe I have ever used. I would like to try these bad boys out. Sponsor me!!! lol
wow, looks cool! Never had mad rocks-might have to check this one out
for my personally wear shark 2.0 since it come out, i really like the toe box and the comfortable of the sharp it have, hopefully this new shark 3.0 don’t disappoint me, but my suggestion it better stay on the orange color 😅
Well, at least you know that no is the time to buy as many Shark 2.0 as possible :)
Reminds me of the haywires and I loved those shoes. I bought 4 pairs when they discontinued them. Pretty excited to buy these
YYEEESSSS!!! I’ve been waiting for this!!!
Aaaand, I managed to snag a pair at today’s opening campaign. WOOT!
My first V8+ was sent in the Shark 2.0. Grabbing a pair of these for sure!
Always interesting to see what mad rock experiments with. Too bad about the color change though.
For anyone curious these shoes are incredible insane rubber coverage on toe and heel non existant break in (20mins) fits like a glove and climbs like a mountain goat I jumped a whole grade in these from v6 to v7 and would recommend to anyone in the intermediate to advanced range looking for a good shoe at a good price the inside adjust strap makes some of my higher end shoes feel dated.
With injection molded soles, will it ever be possible for resolers to resole Mad Rock shoes by removing the damaged sole and cap and slapping on a new one?
They can replaced the molded part but we've found that resolers prefer to grind and resole with sheet rubber so they don't have to stock exact sizes for the resole.
@WeighMyRack when is it coming out?
Feb!
@@madrockclimbingperfect time to blow my birthday money! Your Customer Service is amazing, and sold me on the brand
We can attest that the Mad Rock crew are all solid humans.
@@madrockclimbingFebruary 1st? Also, would you recommend these to a beginner?
soooo pumped for this shoe, when does it drop???
Cool, when is the Vision coming out?
Wake up mom, new Madrock shoe release!
Is there a release date for these? Can’t find anything about it on the Mad Rock website
Looking more like Feb!
is the shark 3.0 stiffer than drone cs or softer ?
So can you resole it?
Typically on any of the molded toe cap shoes you can resole it as you typically would by grinding the rubber down, then applying a standard sheet of rubber. It won't be the same as a new shoe, but it's still usable.
Has anyomne resoled their drone 2.0s or cs'? Does it still feel the same?
Ugh. Not the ridge heel again! Wish Mad Rock would have an option to do a “normal heel” instead
Stay tuned...
You tease.....
Still waiting...@@madrockclimbing
Looks like a real instinct killer 😏
How would the sizing be on these when compared to the old Drones HV?
I found it odd that the Drones 2.0 and old Drones don't really share the same size. Recently got a pair of 2.0 and not sure I can keep them as I can barely stand in them compared to my regular Drones... Odd.
I'd reach out to Mad Rock directly via their support - the folks at the HQ are all great humans, and they'd likely know the answer.
Are this resolable?
Any mad rock climbers out there who wear 10.5 street shoes? What size mad rocks do you wear?
I'd reach out to MadRock HQ Their customer service is awesome and should be able to answer all your questions
I am a size 9 in US street shoes. In the old Drones I'm a size 8.5, which fit tight. However, when I ordered the Shark 3.0 in the same size (8.5), I found them to be about half to a full size larger than my 8.5 Drones. I suggest considering a size that is 1 to 1.5 sizes smaller than your US street shoe size.
What does that mean for the Redline? Is it going to get replaced?
Only Kenny knows :)
will the LV version be released at the same time?
The LV will likely be next year
@@WeighMyRackNext year? 😭
Hoping for an even earlier release later this year!
@@madrockclimbingwould these be okay for a beginner? Been climbing for about a month or two but looking to upgrade from the rentals.
How can i test ?
Although the technology seems really cool and the features also, I can imagine that once you send the shoes for resoling they Will Change dramatically...
From what I understood the Rand is molded and the climbing rubber is applied on top of that. So even if it is resoled the rubber will take the shape of the Rand
Actually, the whole toe box is molded, rand, sole and all. It's pretty crazy to this thing in person. But it is going to change the character of the shoe when you resole it.
I know Jeff is sweating trying to fit all of these new features into his shoe talk 😅
You know it!
Really bummed the plastic plate made it into this shoe. I couldn't like it with my Drone CS or my Drone 2.0 and ended up trading them off.
Much smaller than the CS midsole and is very similar in size to the Shark 2.0 one.
Can i ask you the differences between the 2.0 and the cs? And what are the problems with them?
Never wqs a fan of the concave sole. They dont ahree with my foot shape. Reminds me of evolv shoes and theyre trash
so love bump like the shaman??? The ridge will allow climbers to heel on crimps likes they crimp with their hands? Would be considered as cheating? Banned in comp?
Lol no. The edge exists for ages on the drone 1.0 already
So the "concave sole" is a patented technology that is a full 3d concavity in the sole which translates into the interior toebox. The "love bump" is basically a ridge that runs across the interior of the toe box. Similar, but definitely not the same. Mad Rock came out with the concave sole years before the love bump was introduced to Evolv shoes
@@WeighMyRack interesting! Thx for the insights!
@@DMan93 Living in NZ = very limited options for shoes. Quite strange to Madrock. Will look into it more! Cheers.
@@WeighMyRackso similar to the concave sole on the Ocun Ozones?
