https://go.praetoriandigital.com/?target=art_sNgmdBqeNoi16IYu&source=pct_evIOTpZdlCAcAgo5MODESTO, CA - In a bold advancement, Magnum has just revealed the completely re-designed replacement for its cornerstone boot, Stealth: Stealth II. Since its launch in 2001, the Stealth has led the industry as the #1-selling uniform boot in America*. The highly anticipated update signifies Magnum’s commitment to the evolution and advancement of product for the tactical consumer.
The faster, more athletic Stealth II is engineered to be 30% lighter and even more comfortable than the original.
[UPPER] Unlike the original Stealth, all leather areas of Stealth II utilize Magnashield full-grain leather as opposed to a cheaper full-grain/split-leather combination. No other competitor delivers this level of quality in a uniform boot. The completely re-designed upper is more modern and athletic than before, and utilizes Blucher design for better fit and construction. A moisture-wicking lining works as a climate-control system for the feet.
Stealth II is available with Magnum’s exclusive Circular Side-Zip, secured with a Velcro® closure. The flex notch over heel counter box results in a more flexible and ergonomically-correct fit. In line with its name, Stealth II is100% non-metallic, allowing the wearer to pass through metal detectors with no sensitivity.
[FOUNDATION] The foundation of the boot employs a combination construction--the heel area uses tuck construction for rigidity and strength where you need it, while the toe area uses strobel construction for comfort and flex where you want it. A compression-molded EVA midsole absorbs shock and provides cushioning, but is designed to take a pounding and stay supportive. The Magnum 3D2 Max sockliner delivers three layers of comfort integrating a polymer heel strike pad to absorb shock and a forefoot energy return pad to spring the foot forward.
[OUTSOLE] The outsole is engineered to accommodate the different phases of stride (brake, flex, etc.). An external shank support provides rigidity, while the ladder grip design delivers sure-footedness.
THE STEALTH LEGACY
In its four-year reign, the Magnum Stealth Series has sold over 1 million pair in the United States alone (approximately 724 per day). Stealth is also distributed in over 70 countries worldwide.
The ongoing success of the original Stealth can be attributed to its quality construction, lightweight fit and versatile, simplistic styling. Stealth was actually the update of the first-ever Magnum boot, the Hi-Tec 1152 Magnum. Building upon the success of the best selling 1152 style, Magnum USA worked in conjunction with focus groups of American uniformed personnel and with European designers to achieve a top-quality global styling, features and benefits. It quickly became an essential piece of equipment for law enforcement, fire/rescue and emergency medical agencies around the world.
Stealth II is available in seven versions: 8", 8" SZ, 8" SZ CT, 8" Storm II WP, 6" Midnite II, 6"Midnite II SZ, 6" Midnite II SZ CT. Each style is also available in a women-specific version, and MSRP ranges from $60-85. Stealth II arrives in stores March 25.
