THE WINNING COMBINATION OF CUSHIONING AND PROPULSION
The new VFOAM (Pebax® technology) developed with Arkema provides both comfort and energy transfer.The dynamic material (Pebax®) is placed under the areas where pressure on the foot is highest when it comes in contact with the ground (foot, metatarsals).This Pebax® material is combined with a denser EVA on the outer edge of the sole that facilitates a good foot movement.
SEAMLESS MOULDED UPPER
The upper has been specially designed to prevent rubbing.It has a one-piece construction, and the tongue and heel are compression-moulded to provide maximum comfort.
LIGHTNESS
The weight of a running shoe has a significant effect on energy expenditure and hence, the performance of the runner:the lighter the boot, the higher the performance.The VFOAM has been selected for its low weight.Our engineers have also worked on optimising the weight of the KD500 2 and on the sole geometry specially developed using a generative design process (computer-assisted design):more lugs on the areas that are used more.
WEIGHT AND DROP
Weight: 250 g in size 88 mm
EXCELLENT ROAD-HOLDING ABILITY ON WET ROADS AND BENDS
Our sole is designed like a car tyre for running performance without losing control in wet conditions.
The new geometry of the sole combined with a high-performance rubber gives the KIPRUN KD500 2 excellent grip on wet ground, even at high speeds.
