Hollow tubes in the heel provide exceptional shock absorption for a stylish landing. Stay tied laces and open mesh uppers keep the tricks flowing and the body moving District 13 style.
Performance in bursts requires high durability and traction, however for endurance races the emphasis shifts to shock absorption, support, weight, grip and comfort. For road races or track running K-Swiss Performance offers innovative design and superior construction.
Over long distance the demand placed on the feet is enormous and for a shoe to consistently respond to the relentless pounding it requires some serious shock absorbing properties. K-Swiss developed the sole tube cushioning system to increase the shock absorption and support, whilst reducing the overall weight of the shoes. A support cage has been ergonomically designed to keep the foot firmly placed in the shoe whilst flexing and supporting the correct areas of the foot throughout the stride. Stay tie laces and mesh uppers give maximum breathability and a heel crash pad eases the pressures on the joints. It is no wonder that these are the running shoes of choice for the professional athlete and amateur road runner alike.
In a triathlon shoes need to cope with both wet feet and cycling in addition to running. Designed to cushion and grip, they flex and support whilst cycling. The triathlon range is able to respond to the changing needs of the athlete and perform to the max in both disciplines. An excellent multi-surface grip keep the feet cushioned on the road and firmly on the pedals when cycling. The moisture management system wicks water away from the foot and a specialised outsole tread provides grip on tarmac and pedal. A rigid TPU midfoot shank provides the extra support required with flex grooves to keep the shoe and foot in harmony, and a urethane support cage for protection and pressure distribution.
