Joma Rase XR 2, features and news of the upper.

In the breakdown of these Joma Rase XR 2 we start with its upper, where it stands out is sock-like design that offers a higher degree of protection against external elements, but, of course, also improves the section of a more comfortable fit and that adapts better to the foot. The upper mesh is very resistant, and welded TPU pieces are also implemented to reinforce strategic points such as the lateral areas and the toe cap.

These Rase XR 2 by Joma also include the innovative 360º system, which affects the union between the upper and the sole, favoring a more homogeneous and natural distribution of weight in each stride.

Likewise, the injected rubber of the Joma Sportech technology is joined to other rigid materials, thus reducing seams and improving the flexibility, comfort and lightness of the model. The VTS ventilation system is also integrated, favoring the entry and exit of air.

Stabilizing midsole

As for the midsole, the Joma Rase XR 2 features a single piece of Phylon, which is responsible for providing cushioning in each step. While that rigid plate, the Balance system, located between the midsole and the forefoot reduces torsion and stabilizes the stride in the most complicated terrain.

The rubber outsole stands out for its two-way lug pattern. The front tread pattern is designed to provide the necessary grip on ascents, while the rear tread pattern improves grip on downhill sections. As a trademark, these Rase XR 2 also include the Durability system, which prolongs the life of the shoe, thanks to the high-strength rubber to slow down wear in the most exposed areas.

Finally, the technical specifications of the model reflect a drop of 8 millimeters and a weight of 312 grams. All in all, we are talking about a neutral and lightweight shoe for runners weighing no more than 85 kilos, and with which to do quality training and compete in mountain races.
