DROP 10MM
The difference in sole height between front and rear is 10 mm.
THE IMPORTANCE OF CUSHIONING
For long-lasting running with maximum comfort and performance, we have paid particular attention to the sole with 2 concepts: - K-Ring: a ring located at heel level to improve rear cushioning and disperse shockwaves to protect the body (joints, back, knees...) effectively. - Kalensole: provides a 34% improvement in cushioning, +25% energy return and 1000km durability compared with traditional foam.
DID YOU SAY STABLE?
A stable shoe makes it easier to roll off the foot and limits the effort required to control the foot and ankle for a more relaxed support. We have therefore increased the foot's support surface, integrated the ARKSTAB, a TPU resin piece in the middle of the foot, and added a reinforcement at the back of the heel.
THE COMFORT OF KIPRUN LONG 2
For long, regular runs, foot comfort is essential. That's why we've improved comfort with : - a new collar at the back of the liner for excellent heel retention and ideal cushioning. - a preformed sole made from PU (polyurethane) honeycomb foam. - a reworked forefoot area for zero discomfort. - one-piece, seamless fabric to reduce the risk of chafing.
SUITABLE FOR ALL TYPES OF CROWDS
Thanks to its exclusive K-ONLY concept, a denser foam located under the first metatarsal, you no longer need to know your stride type (pronator, supinator, neutral)! A 6-month study conducted in conjunction with the Luxembourg Institute of Health* demonstrated that the K-Only concept was suitable for all stride types. The study in figures: - 372 runners - over 12,558 training sessions - 12,094 hours of practice, - 116,723 km covered
EXCELLENT ROADHOLDING ON WET ROADS AND WHEN CORNERING
Our sole has been designed like a car tire for efficient running without loss of control, even when it's raining. The sole geometry combined with a new rubber compound gives KIPRUN LONG2 excellent grip on wet surfaces, even at top speed.
WHAT'S NEW ON KIPRUN LONG 2?
Thanks to your feedback over the past 2 years, in 2020 we improved the KIPRUN LONG 2 with : - a reworked forefoot for greater arch comfort - a new rubber outsole that improves grip by over 37%.
