Textile: The textile upper of the sneakers is lightweight, breathable and comfortable, ideal for everyday wear and sports. It ensures air circulation, keeps feet fresh and adapts to their shape. Often complemented with synthetic or rubber details for durability and support.

Waterproof Tech: An umbrella term for technologies that make footwear completely impermeable to water while maintaining the material's ability to "breathe". The basis is usually a microporous membrane (e.g. Gore-Tex® or eVent®), which has openings smaller than a drop of water but larger than a molecule of water vapour. As a result, water from outside cannot penetrate in, while sweat and moisture can escape out. These technologies often also include taped seams and a water-repellent treatment on the upper (DWR), ensuring that feet stay dry and warm even when moving for long periods in rain, snow or wet terrain.

CloudTec Phase®: The CloudTec Phase® technology was developed with the help of more than a thousand runners and computer simulation, which allowed the creation of a shape that promotes a smooth and fluid stride. Using Finite Element Analysis (FEA), every element of the midsole has been optimized, ensuring a soft impact and a smooth transition from heel to toe. It's like running on ocean waves.

Helion™: Helion™ technology is a leading innovation in the world of running shoes, providing a unique combination of lightness, flexibility and energy return. Often found in the midsoles of high-performance running shoes, this foam compound is constructed with Pebax material that offers exceptional cushioning and durability. It works in tandem with other technologies, such as the Speedboard carbon plate, to increase the efficiency and speed of the runner.

Missiongrip™: Missiongrip™ technology is designed to provide maximum traction and safety when moving off-road. Developed in the Swiss Alps in collaboration with elite athletes, this outsole combines a special rubber compound and an enhanced traction pattern, allowing for safe movement on a variety of surfaces, whether running or hiking. The Missiongrip™ provides reliable traction and control, which you'll appreciate on ascents and descents on trails.
