Besides, the general light constitution that they maintain will provide the perfect dynamism for all your sessions, without losing an iota of structure or support that allows you to maintain stability at all times.
Some of the most significant technical details of these NNormal Kboix are found, as it could not be otherwise, in its modular design.

Thanks, in addition, to a prominent and multidirectional cleat.
As for the upper of these trail running shoes for men and women, we can see a synthetic hybrid mesh that will favor the resistance and protection against external agents: A mesh that will also be accompanied by a traditional lacing on a thin and moldable tongue and TPU reinforcements in the toe for added security. Overall, a great bet by the Norwegian-Balearic company that will officially go on sale in mid-2024.
