From the idea of ecological durability to its realization, the creators of these sneakers have made considerable efforts to turn used and discarded material into functional ones. The Air Zoom Strobel unit allows you to recover energy and always have a fresh step, and at the same time, it has 20% recycled material in its composition. The thin but very durable sole features partially recycled rubber that provides exceptional traction during attacks and sudden changes of direction.
