Sneaker Traction Spray Invented by NY Sports Scientists Gave Team USA Fencing Champ the Edge at Paris Olympics
A new scientific breakthrough in athletic performance that Olympic Champ Nick Itkin says improved his grip and kept him injury-free at the Olympic games
EDGE® is a bio-based formula used by athletes to instantly enhance shoe grip for improved agility and protection against injuries from slipping. It’s one of the essentials Team USA fencers keep in their sports bags to use before every match.
24-year old Nick Itkin of Los Angeles, the #2 ranked fencer in the world, says EDGE® spray gave him the edge at the Olympics resulting in a bronze medal in the men’s individual foil category.
Iktin says, “I make sure to use my EDGE spray before matches because the last thing I wanna do is get injured in the most important tournament, the Olympics.”
Another Fencing Olympian Hadley Husisian used EDGE® spray products while competing at the Paris Olympics and says she is thankful to the creators of EDGE® for making sure she didn’t slip up at the “most important tournament” of her life.
Husisian says the Grand Palais venue for fencing was dusty due to recent construction modifications. She says she had peace of mind knowing EDGE® would improve her grip and boost her athletic performance.
Athletes simply spray their sneaker outsoles with EDGE® right before beginning their activity and then wait 15 seconds to absorb. EDGE® dries without any stickiness or residue.
It works by safely elasticizing the outsole material making it more grippy on smooth indoor athletic surfaces (and even dusty ones!)
