Running enthusiasts looking to buy a new pair of shoes to add miles to their training can now enjoy the latest releases from the best sports brands.
The novelties range from the incorporation of innovative recycled materials to the best precision technology designed for runners.
SOLARBOOST by adidas
Designed to replace the iconic Energy Boost, the innovative SOLARBOOST falls into the niche of mixed shoes, that is, those that are perfect for both training and racing.
The main features of this model are:
►An upper with Tailored Fibre Placement (TFP), which allows them to interweave the fibers of the upper part of the shoe with the greatest precision to adapt the shoe to the runner's foot.
►Modified Heel Counter, which leaves more free space for the Achilles tendon.
►4D mesh for better fit and comfort.
Latest in shoes
"It is an intermediate model between Energy Boost and Adizero Boston," says Javier Savage, marathon runner and coach. Additionally:
►Ideal for long-distance training.
►They have very good cushioning, thanks to the Boost sole.
►Ankle support.
Eco-friendly footwear: ULTRABOOST Parley Deep Ocean Blue
►Innovative Boost cushioning system and Fitcounter stabilizer that protects and promotes the natural movement of the Achilles tendon.
►In collaboration with Parley for the Oceans, it uses approximately 11 plastic bottles as fabric in the upper, through the use of Parley Ocean Plastic®, a revolutionary eco-innovation.
The classic reinvented: Nike Pegasus 35
Considered an iconic model in the running field, the Pegasus in its 35th edition presents a radical change resulting from the contributions of elite athletes such as Mo Farah.
►Increased Zoom Air technology throughout the sole.
►Based on the resource used in the Premium model of Nike Zoom: the Vaporfly 4%. A model designed to lower the marathon time below two hours.
►They have opted to maintain their stitched mesh in the upper, with a bootie-like design for a perfect fit.
►Flywire cables, to ensure support in the midfoot area, and a beveled heel very similar to the Zoom Fly.
The surprise of the season: Under Armour HOVR
The innovative HOVR technology aims to reproduce 'zero gravity' in each step, minimizing the impact on the athlete's body to reinforce cushioning and response.
►It incorporates technology into the Sonic and Phantom models, which also include mesh, contributing to a significant increase in shoe reactivity and energy return.
►The insole uses UA's SpeedForm technology that improves breathability, while the outsole includes a slippery texture rubber that promotes traction.
"These shoes are very comfortable and ideal for adding many kilometers thanks to the excellent cushioning they provide. Also, they are made with a very cool material that offers a good fit on the instep," notes Oliver Landeo, coach and athlete of Under Armour.
