Heavy-duty rubber for tough conditions
The shoe is made for the road, but the material the outsole is made of withstands tough conditions. It is called Continental rubber, and it runs the shoe’s full-length. Interestingly, this technology is also used on high-performance tires. This outsole rubber enhances grip and traction on wet or dry surfaces by 15% to 30%.
The Bounce midsole technology
On the midsole is Adidas’ Bounce technology. It is a cushioning material that’s springier and more responsive compared to standard foams. Structured components allow the platform to expand when pressure is applied. As soon as the pressure is lifted, it springs back into its original shape, propelling the runner powerfully.
Supportive upper elements
The seamless Forgedmesh covers the dorsum part of the foot. Key parts of this upper material provide support. Other areas provide the foot with flexibility. The combination of these engineered areas makes runners feel like the shoe was custom-fitted, providing reinforcement and flexibility in the right areas.
The heel is minimally stabilized by an extra plastic insert called the Fitcounter. It helps to anchor the foot to the shoe. Heel counters have varying firmness. This particular one has just the right amount of firmness to allow the heel and foot to move optimally.
