[Function/Material]
■ MATRYX® upper [+TPU reinforcement]
The upper is made of tough multifilament made from Kevlar fiber and high-strength polyamide. It boasts extremely high abrasion resistance, suppresses expansion and contraction, and ensures the durability and stability of the upper. By using MATRYX® as a base, it was possible to review the upper pattern, and as a result, we succeeded in reducing the number of overlay parts. Achieves a structural design that is lighter and more breathable ■ 37.5® tongue lining/mesh footbed cover Removes moisture at the steam stage (releases moisture), improving comfort inside the foot compartment ■ Recycled shoelaces
Shoelaces made from 100% recycled materials
■ Shoelace elastic keeper
Elastic keeper to store shoelaces after tying
■ Recycled tongue webbing
Webbing (tongue) made from 60% recycled materials
■ E-TPU (engineered TPU) footbed
Low-density, high-repulsion, low-compression footbed. It reduces shock to the foot and quickly rebounds, improving foot sensation and performance.
■ ESS arch bridge
An ESS (PVC) shank plate that stabilizes the arch and prevents shaking and twisting of the foot.
■ FLOATPRO™ foam midsole
Sustainable EVA foam with excellent cushioning properties and rebound resilience, which balances the contradictory qualities of lightness and durability (sustainability of function). In order to reduce the burden on the environment, we use a manufacturing process that does not produce waste materials, and we use TPE (thermo plastic elastomer) material, which is easy to reuse, as the raw material.
■ Vibram MEGAGRIP outsole
One of the best high performance compound grips from Italy's world famous sole manufacturer "Vibram". Demonstrates overwhelming grip on wet roads and rugged terrain. We paid special attention to the lug pattern and lug depth (5mm), which determine grip strength on the field, and stretched rubber from the toe to the heel, absorbing the impact when landing and providing stability.
