![]() ![]() Kendra: Everyone at Footlight loves music, and we are almost all artists of some type. Laura: Pivoting our emerging artist mission to an online model seemed the natural choice. There didn’t seem to be any avenue for bands to safely get on a stage and do what bands are supposed to do, play together. Plus it was rarely an actual band playing. It was great at first but it didn’t take long to be frustrated with sound/video/internet quality. Once the new reality set in, at first we jumped on the Insta-Story show concept and tired of it quickly.Įric: We hosted them for a couple months, I played a few, we all watched plenty. The lack of clarity, the misinformation and the lack of support and direction from the local authorities was disappointing and continues to be alarmingly ineffective. We even had a break in and the ATM was stolen March 13th!!! It was so much to handle I don’t think I have all the words to describe the whirlwind. I couldn’t even get a covid test because there weren’t enough tests in NYC, but I definitely had covid the first week of march and was trying to navigate shutting down the bar without going in and possibly infecting people. It was shocking how quickly it all unraveled. Laura: In March 2020, after the strongest first quarter of business since we opened in 2016, we shut everything down.

Saunders (VJ/On Camera Talent/Interviewer, Marketing Assistant) and Barry Marino (Director/Video Production & Editing)-filled us in on their journey and hopes for the project, and the band told us about the experience that was once again hitting the stage. On Monday, beloved Ridgewood performance-space-turned-virtual-venue The Footlight will debut FLTV -an online series featuring performances and interviews with local bands -with an episode starring The Hell Yeah Babies.Īhead of the launch, the team-Laura Regan (Footlight Owner and Operator), Eric Ryrie (Live Audio Production, Recording & Booking), Kendra L. ![]() And that has let Mizuno offer lighter shoes without sacrificing cushioning.Ahead of The Footlight’s FLTV premiere, read up on the new series and its mission + check out an exclusive teaser for the first episode It’s still a far cry from running on clouds or sand, but it’s not as firm as AP+ was, although just as responsive. The best I can describe U4ic compared to AP+ is that U4ic feels spongier. And while U4ic still feels more responsive than other midsoles on the market, it is softer than the old AP+. It first featured in their light weight trainer, Wave Sayonara, and has made its way into every Mizuno running shoe since then. In 2013, Mizuno released the latest generation of their foam: U4ic (pronounced, “Euphoric”). Mizuno wants you to feel like you are landing on firm ground, not sinking into the sand. It’s like running on a sandy beach: the landing is soft, but it feels like you have to work harder to keep your legs moving. While that might not sound like the most comfortable experience in the world, the tradeoff is a more responsive ride. You’ll feel like your feet are landing on the ground, not the clouds. That means Mizuno shoes tend to be on the firmer side. Mizuno shoes are characterized by a responsive feel. EU4IC and EU4ICXĮvery running shoe maker that uses EVA foam to create the midsole of their running shoes will use a specific formula in order to produce a feel that is specific to them. But if you see a Wave plate, then you know you’re looking at a Mizuno running shoe. Sometimes a shoe might feature a double Wave plate. The length and shape of the plate might differ. As a result, even their neutral shoes will have some inherent stability, usually much more than comparable shoes from other makers.Īlmost all Mizuno running shoes will have some type of Wave plate. ![]() Cardboard bends and folds very easily in one direction, but is very difficult to twist side-to-side. The idea is that the Wave plate will absorb impact and disperse it throughout the length of the plate, like a shock absorber.Īnother feature of the Wave plate is its inherent stability. ![]()
