• HydroFlow® | Dynamic viscous fluid units for heel and forefoot enhance midsole cushioning—attenuating shock with industry-leading dampening and comfort.
• MoGo | Our new midsole compound provides a soft cushy first feel that lasts—without sacrificing stability. In-house and accredited third-party testing showed that in comparison with Substance 257, MoGo offers a 40% increase in cushioning, 22% more energy return, and 33% less fatigue.
• e1 | Midsole/outsole compound works in conjunction with HydroFlow® and S-257 to progressively dampen the forces of energy that occur during the contact phase.
• e2 | Midsole/outsole compound is used to enhance resilience under the metatarsals, resulting in a more powerful propulsion.
• Progressive Diagonal Rollbar (PDRB™) | Our dual density post is biomechanically engineered to allow for progressive pronation control and creates a smoother transition from the midstance phase into the propulsion phase.
• DRB® Accel | Enhances tunable torsion of the midfoot. Shanklike thermoplastic devices vary from single units of a set modulus, to dual unit versions of varied modulus (one tuned with higher stiffness for medial support, the lateral side less stiff to smooth the ride).
• S-257 Cushsole | Durable, energy-efficient midsole compound utilized as an insole board for even more cushioning and flexibility.
• HPR PLUS | A higher durability, abrasion-resistant rubber outsole compound that wears longer.
• HPR Green | This durable and long-wearing outsole compound is made with dispersed silica, resulting in premium wet-dry traction for excellent skid-resistance and a more environmentally friendly composition.
• Engineered MC Pod Configuration | Midsole and outsole components are engineered to set the foot in an efficient, balanced position from heel strike to toe-off, offering maximum motion control and flexibility.
• Element | Upper technology featuring superior microfiber construction to provide weather protection in a light, supple, quiet fabric that doesn’t sacrifice breathability, durability, or comfort.
