Low stack height midsole stabilizes foot and maximizes power transfer efficiency. A one-piece surround upper, narrow bottom, rounded heel and slim toe box provide a glove-like fit. Dual independent BOA® IP1 dials allow quick and precise micro-adjustment. The Michelin Carbon Rubber Technology combines rubber and carbon in an unique and exclusive process, enhancing their particular characteristics and technical performance such as stiffness and lightness (carbon) and grip (rubber) in a single element.
Adjustable powerzone lace guide securely holds forefoot. Proprietary MICHELIN outsole minimizes weight, and offers increased traction.

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.
