Running shoe technology engineered in Germany
The True Motion technology: building blocks of our running shoes

The core of the U-TECH™ technology is our midsole construction consisting of the innovative U-TECH™ foam.

U-TECH™ foam is made of a newly developed, foamed TPU. It is pleasantly soft, lightweight, extremely durable, and very responsive (75 % energy return).
U-TECH™ the U-shaped construction in the heel and in the forefoot area (decoupled), provides the technical solution for centering and a natural transition in the innovative U-TECH™ concept.


Full-length U-TECH™ is a variant with 30 % more U-TECH™ foam and a full-length design in forefoot and rearfoot for more comfort and an even smoother transition.
Double U-TECH™ is a variant with a double-U construction in the forefoot/midfoot area for a dynamic and explosive push-off on fast-paced runs.


Another True Motion technology is a connecting bridge between forefoot and rearfoot, inspired by the plantar structures of the foot.
MotionBridge enables optimal energy transfer between the (decoupled) forefoot and rearfoot (U-TECH Nevos & U-TECH Nevos Elements).
3D MotionBridge is a variant with an integrated external heel counter for an even more effective energy transfer between the rearfoot and forefoot (U-TECH Aion).


Speed MotionBridge is a fiberglass nylon plate in the midsole that reduces weight, allows for Double U-TECH™ in the midfoot and provides a slight stiffening of the forefoot for an explosive and efficient push-off.
We also pay attention to the form and the functional details of the outsole rubber to enable a more natural and secure transition.
TrueFlex 8°: Most runners do not place their feet straight on the ground, but slightly turned outwards. 8° rotated flex grooves imitate this natural footstrike and enable a physiologically correct push-off.


The outsole rubber provides traction and durability.
High-performance rubber (HPR) outsole for increased traction and durability (U-TECH Nevos, U-TECH Aion, U-TECH Solo).
Green Rubber provides increased traction and slip resistance on wet and slippery surfaces (U-TECH Nevos Elements).

With the U-TECH™ technology, we have approached a biomechanical dream and linked injury prevention and performance improvement. Mechanical stresses on the sensitive knee joint and Achilles tendon can be reduced, and at the same time, by avoiding unnecessary muscle work, performance and thus running efficiency is improved. Running simply becomes easier.
Running shoe analysis from one of the most advanced biomechanical labs in Europe
Due to our cooperation with the Institute for Functional Diagnostics (IFD Cologne), we have one of the most modern biomechanical laboratories in Europe at our disposal. For the kinematic and kinetic examinations of our running shoes, established procedures in research are used. These are, for example, 3D motion analysis – a MotionCapture system consisting of twelve infrared cameras and software with two synchronized force plates – electromyography, 3D whole-body scan, 3D foot scan and plantar pressure distribution measurement.
Results
True Motion running shoes lead to
- 15 % more cushioning
- 10 % more efficient muscle work
- 8 % less stress for the Achilles tendon
- 10 % less stress for the knee
(on average, compared to leading neutral and stability shoes in the market).
The reason is the new U-TECH™ technology, which centers the point of force application during running and guides it through the joint centers.
Center your run!
