THE FASTEST SHOES EVER DESIGNED AT DECATHLON
To pull off this feat, we worked with the best partners both internally and externally. For the foam, we partnered up with Arkema, a leading French chemicals company. This alliance gave rise to VFOAM in Pebax ®, 20% more dynamic than conventional shoes. Internally, we developed the carbon plate with our innovative cell. The foam/carbon plate combo acts like a spring, returning 75% of the energy exerted.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE AND ROBUST
With the KD900X, you no longer have to choose between robustness and high performance! At Kiprun, we pride ourselves on the robustness of our shoes. During the design phase for the KD900X, we put particular emphasis on the distance these shoes can cover. We had them tested by some demanding runners: up to 1,500 km by one of our testers!
LIGHT WEIGHT FOR ENHANCED PERFORMANCE
The research and development studies have shown that a lighter product improves running performance by reducing energy consumption.
To design the KIPRUN KD900X, we made no sacrifices on comfort and robustness. We selected the most lightweight materials and optimised the sole design. As a result, the KIPRUN KD900X weighs 225 g in size 8.
DROP
The drop of the shoe is 8 mm.
TESTED AND APPROVED BY OUR ATHLETE YOANN KOWAL
During the Lille semi marathon on March 20, 2022, Yoann beat his personal record, finishing in 1h02'17 wearing KD900X shoes: a real achievement in an approved race. Yoann particularly appreciated their light weight and excellent grip on the road, especially on damp ground in hairpin bends, where the propulsion really came through.
