Newton Running, the natural running motion shoe specialist, is launching the Energy run shoe, available at running-specialty retailers and NewtonRunning.com from 17 July.
Designed to ‘meet the needs of runners who want to experience the unique technology platform and ride found only in Newton running shoes, the US$119 Energy facilitates a seamless transition from more conventional running shoe brands into the Newton line.’
“Our goal is always to look for ways to expand the Newton experience to a broader group of runners and the Energy is an addition to our line that offers similar features and ride to all of our products but in a more conventional design package,” sid Newton Running co-founder Danny Abshire. “Runners who are new to the brand as well as loyal Newtonites will truly enjoy the lightweight and responsive ride that the Energy offers.”
The Energy includes a version of Newton’s Action/Reaction technology in the forefoot. Originally offered in Newton’s MV2 racing shoes, the more streamlined design employs five low-profile forefoot lugs to provide impact-zone cushioning and a smooth, stable ride. The lightweight, breathable mesh upper has a roomy toebox that provides ample room for toes to splay, while midfoot overlays help to ensure a secure fit.
According to Newton, the Energy weighs just 9oz for men and 7oz for women. It is available in two colours each for men/women.
