VERY REACTIVE CUSHIONING
For the foam, we partnered up with Arkema, a leading French chemicals company in the running industry. This alliance gave rise to VFOAM in Pebax ®, 20% more dynamic than conventional shoes. The Pebax® Arkema foam combined with the sole geometry provide very reactive cushioning.
SOLE GEOMETRY WITH MAXIMUM ENERGY
The doughnut-inspired heel geometry optimises material deformation for maximum energy return at every stride.The sole leverages all the shoe's qualities:the forefoot geometry maximises Pebax® foam's reactive expression and the heel geometry has an intuitive shape at the only point where cushioning is required.
LIGHTNESS
The research and development studies have shown that a lighter product improves running performance by reducing energy consumption.
To design the KD900, there was no compromise in terms of comfort and robustness and the decision was taken to use lighter components and an optimised sole design.
As a result, 185 g in size 5.
EXCELLENT ROAD-HOLDING ABILITY ON WET ROADS AND BENDS
Our sole is designed like a car tyre for running performance without losing control in wet conditions.
The sole geometry combined with a the rubber component give the KIPRUN KD900 excellent grip on wet terrain and turns, even at top speed.
DROP
The drop of the KD900 is 8 mm.
A TEAM OF PASSIONATE ATHLETES TO OFFER A UNIQUE RUNNING EXPERIENCE
The Kiprun KD900 is the product of Decathlon's shoe expertise acquired over 10 years.
Caroline (product manager), Stéphane (product engineer) and Nicolas (designer), who are all running enthusiasts, develop your Kiprun footwear with a network of ambassadors:the runners at Decathlon, sports coaches and you! In this way, we choose the components, create the prototypes and test and validate the products with laboratory and field tests.
