Foot-Shaped Toe Box

Advantages:
- The big toe remains straight, providing greater stability and increased propulsion strength.
- The toes can spread naturally and comfortably.
- The foot naturally compensates for any excessive pronation.

FootPod Technology
This outsole technology maps the placement of the bones and tendons of the foot to allow them to bend and move naturally.

InnerFlex
Internal grooves incorporated into the midsole. By promoting multi-dimensional flexibility, they allow the feet to be more responsive, enhancing speed and performance. This technology reduces the weight of the shoe for an improved running experience in every way.
