With a reduced design, the Energy Boost running shoe combines comfort with innovative energy return. The cushioning, developed in partnership with BASF, is made of a material that contains thousands of capsules blown together through high pressure steam that act like a trampoline under the wearer’s feet. Inside, a snug Techfit upper and the four-way stretch air mesh offer comfort for the foot, like wearing a sock.
Statement by the Jury
Reduced in its outer appearance, the Energy Boost fascinates with a novel technique that creates an excellent springy cushioning.
