Inspired by Kona, Hawaii, birth place of Zoot Sports, the Ali'i brings a fresh look to running. This lightweight neutral running shoe is perfect for racing and just right for tempo runs and track workouts. Weighing in at 9.9oz (men's size 9), this shoe provides a lightweight comfortable ride. The Boa Closure System delivers a fast, customized, and comfortable fit; providing quick application and on-the-fly adjustment for racing and training. The authentic upper was designed by Keith Tallett, a mixed media artist, born and raised on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Fabric:
Upper: The Boa Closure System delivers a fast, customized, and comfortable fit; providing quick application and on-the-fly adjustment for racing and training. Molded 3D heel counter with integrated heel pull tab for fast transitions and great heel support. BareFit lining combined with our internal structure to give the best internal feel and close to the foot fit. Breathable mesh upper for optimal cooling.
Midsole/Outsole: Unique dual density Z-Bound and ZVA placed in a heel-to-toe configuration with great rebound for mid-foot strike and added cushioning when heel striking. Constant Ground Contact provides mid-foot support. Carbon Rubber tread gives the outsole lightweight, durable traction.
Hi, I ordered the shoes but have had them shipped to my friends in the US as I will be visiting shortly. Not able to ship to Canada which is unfortunate, so I can't provide a review yet as I haven't even seen them or tried them on.

Zoot Still Tops most other brands - I prefer earlier models
Good shoe previous version was better. I have owned all 3 versions of the Ali'i. The first version (black and gold) had the boa dial on the top which caused pressure and rubbing in that area. The second version moved the dial to the side and was a very comfortable and stable shoe build on a different platform than the current version. While version 3.0 is also comfortable it does feel like it provides the same support and stability. Overall still a good shoe. I have many different styles of Zoot shoes bought over the years. I personally am a big fan of most earlier versions in terms of style and performance. I have also noticed the sizing has started to run another 1/2 size smaller.
