This material guarantees superior grip on all types of surfaces and conditions, improving stability and control. We can find this compound throughout the entire sole, revealing, anecdotally, the LightBoost only in the center of the midsole. Right in this area, we find a translucent rubber that reveals the TORSION SYSTEM, in the shape of an
