An often-overlooked yet vital component is the shoe’s upper, which dictates climate control and personalized containment. Advanced engineered meshes and knitted textiles create a dynamic, sock-like fit that adapts to the foot’s shape while allowing heat and moisture to escape efficiently. Strategic overlay placements provide locked-down support in high-stress areas like the midfoot, while articulated flex zones ensure natural motion at the forefoot. The goal is a harmonious, secure fit that eliminates internal friction and keeps the foot cool and dry, mile after mile or rep after rep.
