NITRO Foam Technology Explained

What is NITRO: EVA foam into which nitrogen is injected during production. The gas creates uniform micro-bubbles that make the midsole lighter (-15% weight), more reactive (+20% energy return), and more durable (+25% compression resistance vs traditional EVA).
Running Benefits: Soft cushioning upon landing + explosive push-off = less muscle fatigue over medium to long distances. Ideal for improving times without sacrificing comfort.
Durability: Maintains cushioning properties up to 700-800 km vs 500-600 km for standard foams.
