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.
-
Frixion White
Super-adhesive, non-marking, high-durability rubber. Ideal for high-performance mountain running shoes and indoor climbing shoes.
-
EVA compression
The classic EVA midsoles, compression-molded, offer durability and responsiveness on soft terrain where the need for shock absorption is reduced.
