Impact Brake System
This innovative system is applied to the sole so that it absorbs negative ground impact, boosts traction on ascents, and improves grip on descents. The unique positioning of the studs allows as many of them as possible to be in contact with the ground, ensuring optimal impact absorption.
-
EVA injectée
It provides better cushioning and more elasticity during your stride than a molded EVA sole. It maintains its shape over time.
-
Frixion Red
Optimal combination of grip, wear resistance, and shock absorption. Used on versatile soles.

Stabilizer
Side panels designed for better stability.
