Track and Field Sprint Shoes [METASPRINT TOKYO/1093A148]
The spike-less CFRTP sprinting shoe was developed to reduce the energy loss during sprinting by eliminating the spike-pins, in spite of the fact that a sprinting shoe generally has several metal spike-pins on the bottom of the sole for the athletes to provide traction and to efficiently transmit their power to the ground. This state-of-the-art technology will open the future of sprinting shoes.
