The Kismet's signature lightweight comfort and support get upgraded with a new Hytrel footbed to enhance cushioning and energy return where you feel it the most, proving again why it's the perfect stability trainer for runners of all levels.
3D Mesh Upper
Surrounded by an extremely breathable mesh, the upper of the Kismet 8 will keep you feeling ventilated over long periods of exercise. The warm air that builds up as a result of increased activity in the shoe is easily able to escape out of the material where it is then replaced by fresher and cooler air from outside. In addition to this, moisture from sweat is also able to escape out of the shoe, which will keep you feeling fresh. A performance lace and tongue system will allow you to find a supremely comfortable and secure fit easily without any fuss. The new gender-specific fit ensures that the Kismet 8 conforms to the natural shape of your feet ensuring a perfect fit. Lastly, a smooth lining and plush tongue provide enhanced levels of comfort.
Action/Reaction MidsoleThe Kismet 8 uses Newton's developed Action/Reaction Technology. As you take a stride, the responsive and trampoline-like cushioning system will absorb the energy before quickly returning it as bounce-back. This will mean that the more energy that you put in, the more you will get back from it to give you an added boost. The system will also mean that you will benefit from full cushioning that will offer protection. Newtonium Enhances Cushioning located in the heel helps absorbs impact from ground contact, preventing injuries and fatigue, whilst allowing you to exercise for longer while the new Hytrel footbed technology resided in the midsole to elevate cushioning without compromising responsiveness. The new and innovative XPS plate system works with the outsole to maximise impact absorption and energy return whilst delivering a responsive ride.
Durable Rubber OutsoleGrip and traction are guaranteed with the durable rubber outsole. The material is abrasion resistant, which will protect itself from damage when running on hard surfaces. The rubber is also able to secure a strong hold with a wide range of different surfaces. This will give you the confidence of control, whilst also providing a firm base for you to push off from. The multi-directional grooves on the outsole are designed to provide you with more traction, especially on wet ground.
