The GLIDERIDE™ 2 shoe is scientifically proven to save energy over the long run.By reducing energy through the phases of the gait cycle from footstrike to toe-off,this running shoe can help you cover greater distances.This season,we wanted to leave the energy-saving properties intact while creating a smoother ride with a better fitting upper.Designed for runners who want to feel fresher for longer durations,this shoe is also a functional choice for recovery runs.Improving the fit of the upper,this design features an engineered mesh that provides excellent airflow while adjusting to the natural shape of the foot's motion.Paired with a 3D print,this application also creates targeted support without extra stitching or added weight.Additionally,the shoe's upper is made with recycled materials to reduce waste and carbon emissions.GUIDESOLE™ technology consists of a curved sole that improves running efficiency by decreasing the load placed on the lower limbs.FLYTEFOAM® technology cushioning is placed on the top layer of the midsole for a soft landing,while the bottom layer of FLYTEFOAM® Propel technology generates a more responsive bounceback.Sandwiched between these two layers in the forefoot is a plate that helps keep the integrity of the midsole.Encouraging an easy forward roll,this motion propels the foot forward to create smoother and more efficient transitions between strides.Additionally,the AHARPLUS™ outsole improves durability and extends the shoe's lifespan.
