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 inject�e

It provides better cushioning and more elasticity during your stride than a molded EVA sole. It maintains its shape over time.

Frixion Blue

Durable, flexible, and with a good grip. Ideal for running on asphalt and dirt.

Gore-Tex Extended Comfort - Chaussure

The Gore-Tex Extended Comfort membrane provides waterproof and reliable protection in all circumstances. No matter the adventure, this coating ensures your feet stay dry. It is composed of a single layer to guarantee maximum breathability, increased lightness, and reduced drying time.
