Highlights & Technologies: POWERSHAPE CARBON 15:
This is a unidirectional full carbon sole with arch support. Their shape also reflects the natural anatomy of the foot and, thanks to the Powershape design, offers excellent support – especially in the arch area.

SLW3 SYSTEM:
The speed lace system closure on the shoes provides perfect support and optimal fit for your feet, is functional and fast to use: Simply open and close the shoe with a flick of the wrist. A large dial allows for precise tensioning of the wires. The shoes can be fully opened at once or step by step.

UNDERLAP CONSTRUCTION:
This is a design that has been developed to improve the fit with an even closure and to avoid pressure points on the foot. This is done by pushing the layers of upper material into the inside of the shoe by activating the SLW3 fastener. The upper material has laser-cut incisions that optimise ventilation and adaptation to the foot.
