Engineered for speed, distance and performance, the Distance Performance Racer continues to prove to be the ultimate "PR in a box." Designed on an ultra-light, race-specific profile, the Distance helps you find your sweet spot to maintain fast-paced running form. It features Newton's Action/Reaction Technology™ in the forefoot and an advanced rearfoot design aimed at maximizing forward propulsion and optimal running technique. Independent studies prove this technology, in conjunction with the LAND-LEVER-LIFT running technique, provides less stress on a runner's joints, muscles and tendons.
