Developed with our athletes to aim for records in real-life conditions.

The result of three years of co-creation with our elite athletes, the Kipstorm Lab (formerly Kd900 x lab) has been tested and fine-tuned under real race conditions. A true Formula 1 of running shoes, they have been designed for the elite and will be available in limited quantities by the end of 2025, giving enthusiasts access to the same technology as our top athletes.

Cutting-edge technologies to unleash your full potential

Featuring two patented technologies, the Kipstorm Lab (formerly Kd900 x lab) combines the carbon Hook Plate, for greater propulsion and stability, with Fluid Foaming technology. This high-density TPU foam, moulded using an innovative process, forms an outer shell that structures the shoe and provides extra support and durability. At the heart, ultra-light Featherbounce PEBA foam offers comfort and energy return.

Geometry designed to optimise tilting and maximise recovery.

The geometry of the KD900X Lab has been designed to ensure a smooth forward tilt. Combined with a J-shaped carbon plate, they facilitate the heel-to-forefoot transition and maximise recovery with every stride.The result? a more dynamic, more efficient stride and a constant sense of speed.

Only 167 g of concentrated technology for an unprecedented lightweight feel.

Weighing only 167 g in size 8, the Kipstorm Lab pushes the boundaries of lightness and is classed among the lightest shoes on the market. Each component has been optimised to reduce weight without compromising on performance. The result? a feeling of total freedom underfoot, ideal for runners looking for speed and fluidity.

Already approved at the highest level: european 5 km record broken by jimmy gressier with the kipstorm lab.

The Kipstorm Lab (formerly Kd900 x lab) is not just a promise of performance, they have already proved themselves on the European stage. In March 2025, Jimmy Gressier smashed the European 5 km record in Lille in 12 min 57 with these shoes on his feet. A historic time that confirms the efficiency of their lightness, dynamism and propulsion. Designed to break records, they have already made running history.
