Core Technology and Performance Highlights
Midsole System
Dual-Layer Dual-Density Design: The upper layer uses German Evonik eCO E40 eco-friendly nylon rough foam material (CQT EXTREME), with an energy return rate of over 90%, providing extreme rebound. The lower layer is CQT FLAME technology (nylon bead foam), with an energy return rate of 88%, balancing cushioning and anti-decay.
Sandwich Structure: The upper layer has a hardness of 40C, emphasizing comfort and cushioning, while the lower layer has a hardness of 45C, ensuring support and stability. During actual running, the deformation is sufficient, and even with a slow jog at a pace of 6 minutes per kilometer, you can feel the high upper limit of cushioning and rebound force.
Wider Forefoot Design: The lower inner side of the forefoot is widened by 15%, combined with the midfoot stabilizer, solving the problem of insufficient lateral support when turning. At a pace of 3'45"/km, it can still maintain a stable trajectory when turning.
Dynamic Carbon Plate
Increased Size and Hardness: The carbon plate area is 5% larger than the previous generation, with enhanced hardness. The forward-leaning design improves rolling efficiency by 12%, and the widening of the midfoot and inner side of the heel enhances landing stability.
Reinforcing Rib Structure: The carbon plate surface is equipped with reinforcing ribs, significantly improving propulsion and anti-torsion performance. The boosting sensation is noticeable when speeding up, especially during midfoot and forefoot push-off.
Compatibility: Friendly to full-foot or forefoot running styles, the carbon plate's intervention is clear but not obtrusive, with a natural transition, reducing the burden on the legs. Rear-foot runners need stronger ankle strength.
Upper and Fit
Eco-Friendly Carbon Fiber Blend: The upper is made of 50% carbon fiber and 30% recycled yarn, which is lightweight, delicate, and highly breathable. The streamlined design reduces wind resistance.
Adaptive Fit System: The one-piece knitted sock-like design reduces friction, and the "pillow" lining in the heel enhances comfort, achieving a "foot-shoe integration" fit.
Sizing Recommendation: The sizing is more competitive, it is recommended to choose half a size smaller than your regular running shoes to avoid misalignment in the toe area.
Outsole and Durability
Full-Length RPU Rubber: Lighter and more durable than traditional rubber, with clear patterns and excellent slip resistance. The grip remains stable on wet and slippery surfaces.
Durability Test: After 250 kilometers of actual testing, the wear is minimal, with an estimated lifespan of over 500 kilometers. In a 300-kilometer test, the thickness of the forefoot push-off area only decreased by 0.3mm, with a wear index 20% better than the industry average.
Low-Temperature Limitation: The CQT EXTREME material experiences elasticity decay in low temperatures (<5℃), so use with caution in northern winters.
Real-World Testing and Applicable Scenarios
Speed Training
5K Tempo Run (Pace 4'10"/km): The carbon plate responds quickly, with a noticeable "seesaw effect" on forefoot landing. The actual energy return rate is 87%, and the step frequency naturally increases by 3-5 steps per minute at the same pace.
Interval Training: The carbon plate's boosting sensation is significant when speeding up, with strong propulsion during midfoot and forefoot push-off, enhancing the training experience.
Long-Distance Training
30km LSD Training (Pace 4'50"/km): The CQT EXTREME foam has excellent anti-decay properties, maintaining 82% of its initial rebound rate in the second half. However, when the pace drops below 5'30"/km, the midsole's rigidity becomes apparent, placing a greater burden on runners with weaker ankle strength.
Half Marathon/Full Marathon Racing
Full Marathon Runners Under 330: The synergy between the midsole and carbon plate provides continuous propulsion, suitable for elite or intermediate runners aiming for a time of 3 hours and 30 minutes or less.
Wet Conditions Performance: The improved RPU outsole has a slip coefficient of 0.72 on wet cobblestone roads after rain, with reliable grip during sudden directional changes due to the lateral groove design.
