3D FIT PRINT
Using a revolutionary process that uses screen-print technology to apply engineered structure to the uppers of our shoes, it maintains the shoe structure with increased flexibility and lighter weight.
IDEAL PRESSURE ZONES
Distribute pressure evenly under your foot, transforming your run into a more comfortable and effortless ride.
WHAT IS IT?
Ideal Pressure Zones distribute pressure evenly under your foot, transforming your run into a more comfortable and effortless ride from heel to forefoot.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
When we take a step back to examine how runners run, we recognise that the highest amount of impact happens as you propel yourself forward. Knowing that this is the moment of highest impact, we’ve reshaped the outsole to disperse pressure evenly throughout your whole foot -- from heel to mid-foot to forefoot.
This means that impact is no longer felt in just one area of the foot which could cause “hot spots” (places that rub or cause pain throughout the run) but is instead dispersed evenly across the entire foot, leading to a smoother, float-like transition as you glide through your run.
Ideal Pressure Zones work in conjunction with our other shoe technologies to help runners maintain their most efficient and natural motion throughout the run.
ROUNDED HEEL
The slight curve of the heel aligns force through the center of your ankle joint, reducing internal stress on your body.
WHAT IS IT?
“Rounded Heel” is just a fancy name that we like to use for the rounded and reduced heel on our shoes. The slight curvature in the heel vastly improves the alignment of your body, encouraging a more efficient stride.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
It’s really quite simple. The curvature in the heel works to align the body by shifting the contact point forward. As you hit the ground there is a greater clearance distance under the middle of your heel, which aligns force through the center of your ankle, thus reducing internal stress on your body.
SEGMENTED CRASH PAD
Made up of fully-integrated shock absorbers to provide cushion and smooth heel-to-toe transition, maximising the efficiency of every stride.
WHAT IS IT?
The Segmented Crash Pad customises your foot's lay-down to provide amazing cushion and smooth heel-to-toe transition throughout the run.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
We know that a key component of maximising your run is to provide the smoothest possible heel-to-toe transition. The Segmented Crash Pad is one technology we use to achieve this goal.
Shaped like a caterpillar, the Segmented Crash Pad is a midsole made up of independent, yet fully integrated shock absorbers. As your foot strikes the ground, the segments work together to customise your individual lay down to provide the right amount of cushion and seamless heel-to-toe transition for you – making the most of all that effort you put into each stride.
SUPER DNA
An adaptable midsole material that offers increased cushioning while providing peak energy return and support.
WHAT IS IT?
An adaptable midsole material that combines plushness with adaptability and provides 25% more cushioning than BioMoGo DNA.
Traditional cushioning takes a one-size-fits-all approach, but we know that each runner is different. Super DNA was developed to continuously tailor the level of cushioning to your specific needs – even as they change during the run.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Super DNA is made up of a highly viscous non-Newtonian material or more simply put, a material that adapts to the specific force you apply to it. Part of the brilliance is that this compound was engineered to perform at the molecular level (picture millions of resilient 'nanosprings').
If you looked at Super DNA through a microscope, you’d see that it's made up of individual molecules connected in strands. These strands (which form chains) react to the amount of force placed on the foot, dispersing pressure and providing resiliency. Bottom line of this physics lesson: You get tailored cushioning that reacts to your specific weight, pace, gait, movement and running environment – "made-for-me" cushioning vs. "one size fits all."
And, as with all good technology, we’ve taken it a step further:
- Super DNA is our latest stop on the DNA journey. Introduced with the Transcend and now found in the Glycerin, Super DNA combines the adaptability of DNA and adds 25% more cushioning than BioMoGo DNA while still maintaining the same energy return and biodegradable properties. Essentially you get the best of both worlds – adaptability and ultimate cushioning.
Other benefits include:
- Significantly more cushioning than standard midsole materials
- Increased energy-return for more pep in your step
- Great performance no matter your weight or running pace
- Smoother transition from heel to toe
