New Balance 740N

Textile: Textile uppers are a lightweight and highly breathable upper construction solution that uses woven or knitted structures of natural and synthetic fibres. This type of upper is valued in the footwear industry for its extraordinary ability to adapt to the shape of the foot, minimising the formation of blisters and ensuring high user comfort. Thanks to the porous structure of the material, textile uppers allow for efficient heat and moisture dissipation, which is crucial for maintaining an optimal microclimate even under increased physical stress. In addition, modern textile processing technologies allow reinforcement zones to be integrated directly into the knit, achieving an ideal balance between stability and flexibility.

ABZORB®: Cutting-edge cushioning technology developed by New Balance. It is a blend of isoprene rubber and special foam that is designed to absorb and dissipate the energy generated when the foot hits the ground. Unlike conventional foams, ABZORB® retains its shape and cushioning properties for longer. Thanks to its excellent compression resistance, it effectively protects the joints and musculoskeletal system, while ensuring a high level of comfort even under prolonged loading on hard surfaces.

Rubber: It is one of the most widely used materials for the production of soles due to its high mechanical resistance and durability. The main advantage of rubber soles is their excellent grip (traction) on different types of surfaces, which minimises the risk of slipping. The material is naturally flexible, waterproof and effectively absorbs shocks during walking. Depending on the compound, the rubber can be either soft for better contact with the ground or hard for maximum abrasion resistance on rough terrain.
