History

At Northwave we pour all our energy into one thing and one thing only; creating the finest shoes for sport in the mountains. With a single-minded focus we create innovative products, unmatched in terms of performance, quality, design and style. Mountain, it’s in our blood. Our headquarters nestle at the base of the Dolomites, a bike and snow mecca and our daily inspiration. Whilst there are many places that claim to be the spiritual home of their sports.

Philosophy

It’s here in the mountains that we design and test all our products, on the trails and on the slopes and at our in-house technical research facility nearby Montebelluna. It’s no coincidence that Northwave as a brand has always been associated with the values that define its Alpine heritage: efficiently, attention to detail, performance, a refined aesthetic and sustainable development. Our mountain roots are evident in all we do.

Hyperlight Michelin XC sole made of 100% unidirectional carbon with a stiffness index of 14.0 for top power transfer 28% more abrasion resistant than TPU, the Michelin rubber inserts with dual-layer compound technology provide excellent grip with minimum weight. Made with the patented XFrame 2® construction, the upper transfers every watt of power while providing the snuggest, even fit with no pressure points. The double SLW3 dial differentiates the pressure between the top of the instep and the toe for even better adaptability. New highly abrasion-resistant ultrathin reinforcements ensure 360° protection along the entire upper. Integrated heel system containing directional fibre prevents any slipping. Pro Regular Fit footbed with a stiffened dual density design increases the power transfer. Redesigned overlap for improving fit and control on the pedals. New no-stich heel design guarantee comfort and a second skin effect. The perforated upper surface ensure optimal ventilation
100% realized in unidirectional carbon fiber, it’s the outcome of biomechanical studies to locate materials only where actually needed for maximum efficiency, so to be able to combine very low weight and extreme rigidity. The sole’s sculptures are realized through the innovative Dual Layers Compound Technology, softer and harder compounds to increase flexibility, stability and adherence: the first provides maximum flexibility, while the second is tougher and more resistant, for improved traction and endurance.

Traction by jv international

Traction is a family of specific compounds combined with a design of the tread that offers high grip performance in extreme conditions.

Benefits

Carbon Rubber by jv international

The technology allows to combine an extremely light and rigid carbon-fiber component with a multi-compound rubber tread that will offer the necessary performance in terms of grip and stability.

The core of Carbon Rubber is the “lamination coupling technology” between the carbon fiber element and the multicompound rubber tread.
