• Flex grooves in the outsole: Improves flexibility
• Synthetic stitching on the overlays: Improves support
• AMPLIFOAM+ cushioning: Helps improve durability

• At least 20% of the shoe’s main upper material is made with recycled materials to reduce waste and carbon emissions
• The sockliner is produced with the solution dyeing process that reduces water usage by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to the conventional dyeing technology
