Traction, grip or both?

Featuring a Vibram® Megagrip Litebase with 'Traction Lug' technology, the KIPSUMMIT RACE model gives you optimal grip and traction on all terrain.

Lace lock

For real freedom of movement, you can slip your laces through an elastic band on the tongue of the shoe to prevent them from coming undone or catching.

Patented uppers

Exclusively patented uppers:Light, breathable, yet extremely robust. With a sock construction to enhance comfort as you run (and avoid getting pebbles/debris in your shoes)

6mm drop

The sole gives you a drop of 6 mm (31.5/37.5 mm)

Patented carbon plate

We developed a carbon plate specifically designed to deliver exceptional energy return whilst guaranteeing great stability.

Ultra dynamic shoes
