Materials:

• Upper: Crafted with a breathable and lightweight technical mesh, reinforced with strategically placed synthetic overlays to provide additional durability, structure, and support in areas of high wear and torsion.
• Midsole: Composed of 100% EVA Techlite™ foam, a closed-cell material that offers superior cushioning, shock absorption, and high energy return, while maintaining its lightness to avoid adding extra weight to the footwear. The Omni-MAX™ system optimizes this EVA base for improved performance.
• Outsole: Made from 100% non-marking Omni-Grip™ rubber, a high-traction compound designed with a multi-directional lug pattern that ensures exceptional grip on both dry, compact surfaces and wet or uneven terrain.
• Insole: Made from 100% Polyurethane (PU), a material known for its excellent resilience and ability to maintain cushioning and support over time, resisting compression better than standard foams and offering long-lasting comfort.
• Lining: Interior made from 100% Polyester fabric, selected for its moisture-wicking capacity, quick-drying properties, and soft feel, enhancing comfort and keeping the foot dry during activity.
