Details

The focus for this running shoe was to make sure this design looks as good on the road as it does on race day. Influenced by technical performance, the upper's Nexkin mesh material further evolves the design with enhanced ventilation to keep your feet cool. A combination of GEL™ technology and FF BLAST™ cushioning provides a soft yet responsive ride. After a light landing phase, the shoe propels you forward with a smooth transition. The midsole shape is inspired by the curved katana sword of a samurai. The Pebax plate in the middle directs your movement forward and gives you a faster running feel.
