Midsole: FF BLAST™ technology provides shock absorption and a responsive rebound. Rearfoot and forefoot GEL™ cushioning protects from impact and creates softer landings at footstrike. FF BLAST™ PLUS adds lightweight impact absorption and durability. OrthoLite™ sockliner provides soft, step-in comfort. The sockliner is made with a dyeing process that reduces water usage by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by 45% compared to conventional methods.
