Materials and Technology

Breathable engineered mesh upper

Breathable, lightweight mesh reduces the need for additional linings.

Tongue Adjustment System

FF BLAST Cushioning MAX

One of our most energetic midsole foams, complemented by plush cushioning and responsive energy return with every step.

Trampoline-inspired outsole pod

Our outsole and midsole design captures more energy return for greater responsiveness during toe-off.

Reflective details

Enhanced visibility thanks to increased reflective brightness at night and in the early morning.

AHAR LO rubber outsole

Lower-density rubber placed in key areas of the outsole provides reliable grip and traction without sacrificing durability.

At least 50% of the main material in the upper of the shoe is made from recycled materials to reduce waste and carbon emissions.

The insole is made using a solution-dyeing process, which reduces water consumption by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to the conventional dyeing method.
