- VECTIV™: An in-shoe technology which combines a 3D plate with a rocker midsole to convert the energy of each stride into dynamic propulsion.
- Ortholite® : The soles are made of open-pore polyurethane. To put it simply, it is a foam membrane! This honeycomb sole design wears less quickly than traditional soles, draining moisture more easily and absorbing impact better. Footwear with this technology will keep feet warm and dry, protecting against bacteria and fungus while improving performance through shock absorption and minimal wear over time.
