Details

  1. Mid-cut TechLoom upper construction is seamlessly woven from performance textiles resulting in a true one-piece upper for an exceptional fit.
  2. Articulated eye row allows foot to flex using minimal overlays to maintain a light weight. 
  3. External heel counter provides lockdown and support.
  4. Midsole/outsole compound developed for direct ground contact, enabling the use of less rubber on the outsole, significantly reducing the weight of the shoes.
  5. Propelium™ is designed to maximize energy generation and provide superior comfort that will maintain midsole structural integrity longer than conventional EVA.
  6. Inspired by the shape of a feather, the outsole incorporates natural motion flex grooves that react to every movement.

Wasted money

"These are the least comfortable training shoes I’ve ever owned. Not worth the money, odd amount of space between sole and top - would have needed a big insole to make them even fit. Hard to get them on due to construction and the laces. Total of $225, replaced them with with cheaper shoes that are a million times better."

Sarah (2/5)

Comfortable & sleek

"Great design, comfort and technical features."
