DECATHLON'S FASTEST SHOE EVER
To achieve such a feat, we worked with the best internal and external partners. For the foam, we teamed up with Arkema, a leading French chemist. The result is VFOAM foam in Pebax® material, 20% more dynamic than conventional shoes. In-house, we developed the carbon plate with our innovation unit. The foam/carbon plate combo translates into 75% more energy restitution, just like a spring.
SUSTAINABLE PERFORMANCE
With the KD900X, there's no need to choose between performance and durability! At Kiprun , shoe durability is part of our DNA. In designing the KD900X, we placed particular emphasis on the mileage guarantee offered by the shoes. They have been tested by demanding runners, up to 1500kms by one of our testers!
LIGHTNESS FOR PERFORMANCE
Research and development studies have shown that a lighter product improves racing performance through better energy economy. In designing the KIPRUN KD900X, we made no compromises on comfort and durability. We chose lighter components and worked on an optimized sole design. Result: the KIPRUN KD900X shoe weighs 225 g in size 42.
DROP
The shoe has an 8mm drop.
TESTED AND APPROVED BY OUR ATHLETE YOANN KOWAL
At the Lille half marathon on March 20, 2022, Yoann achieved a personal best of 1h02'17 on the KD900X, a real performance in a sanctioned race. Yoann particularly appreciated the bike's light weight and excellent roadholding, especially on wet surfaces in hairpin bends.
