max cushioning – personalized by pace

Better shock protection means less stress.

How we did it

Wait, what's a pace-tuned running shoe?

A pace-tuned running shoe is scientifically engineered for optimal performance within a pace zone. The result is max cushioning, increased stability, and improved propulsion efficiency for runners at that pace. Get the scoop.

What do they feel like?

You'll feel a super cushioned rearfoot with slightly firmer foam under the forefoot. This combo—plus a rocker design—absorbs more impact shock before smoothly transitioning to a propulsive, ultra efficient toe-off. You can feel the tuning difference between models. Find out more.

What does the science say?

We built a physics-of-running equation, ran an IRB-approved human study, and developed the tech. The science is clear. Pace tuning is the only way to get all the personalized cushioning you want AND all the stability and propulsion efficiency you need. Dive deeper.
