LIGHTWEIGHT CUSHIONING: We have added more BioMoGo DNA cushioning to the midsole for an even faster ride without the extra weight. A dynamically responsive ride for days when you are working on your speed. RESPONSIVE TRANSITIONS: Redesigned midsole increased by 2 mm to provide runners with more responsiveness while the Green Rubber Outsole helps your foot move quickly from heel to toe.
