say goodbye to re-tying your laces with the one-pull system that can be adjusted on the
fly. Quicklace is a single kevlar string fed through friction–free eyelets. As you pull, the
lace closes evenly. Lock in place with the stopper and stow the extra lace as well as the
stopper in the lace pocket. it’s fast, light, comfortable and won’t loosen while you run.

sensiflex is a stretch panel with a tpu overlay that supports natural foot expansion in the
upper forefoot area which naturally expands and changes as you progress through a run
while still maintaining a snug fit for increased control. sensiflex isolates this critical part of
the forefoot and allows it to flex and expand as necessary while still maintaining support.
it’s a revolutionary way of providing a snug, supportive fit that adapts to the foot even as
conditions and foot shape change.
