ECHNOLOGY: Complete new technology review. All old technology notes removed.
BOOST TECH – Manufactured by BASF New midsole material – more energy return and soft comfort. Boost foam 10% lighter than conventional foam. The only foam on the market that
combines all 5 benefits at once:
Primeknit Upper on top models: is soft stretchy breathable mesh. Sock-like feel. BASF solid granular foam material = Expanded Thermoplastic Polyurethane (E-TPU) - small energy capsules fused together with stream and
pressure. More durable, and more efficient energy release.
Torsion System – more efficient and smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off. Assisted by Stretchweb outsole: flexes with boost upon impact, multiple flex zones depending on individual runner.
engineered mesh upper - techfit ESM, Adiprene + - created dynamic and responsive running, Adiprene – shock absorbing material, Traxion – outersole design – grip, stability and traction, Stable frame – support frame, Continental outersole rubber - grip and traction, Adiwear – highly
durable o/s material, Torsion system – full length stability bar – flexible and stable, Stretch web outersole - flexes with boost upon impact,
multiple flex zones depending on individual runner , taper lace – stretched to max – cannot absorb water, Energy rail: works with boost to increase stability for a smoother run, Heel Fit Counter – support for lateral heel movement whilst allowing Achilles to be free, Adaptive arch –
hugging and supportive feel, dynamic fit ensures freedom of movement with support, Cloudfoam,
