On Running Sneakers, Basketball Shoes, and Running Shoes

Powered by CloudTec cushioning technology, the sole's hollow, independent modules compress upon ground contact to absorb impact, then rebound to release energy during toe-off. The third generation features a triple-layer structural design—integrated with a dual-density Helion™ foam midsole—to deliver enhanced cushioning and responsiveness, making every stride feel as though you are running on clouds. A thermoplastic polymer propulsion plate, embedded between the midsole and the upper, provides the perfect balance of rigidity and flexibility; it stores energy upon landing and releases a surge of propulsive force the instant you push off. This is paired with a more aggressive, curved forefoot rocker geometry to ensure a smoother running gait and a more powerful toe-off.
