The BIOM 2.0 is the evolution of our BIOM® NATURAL MOTION® technology. The BIOM 2.0 launched in SS21, and brought the technology up to modern standards while keeping the key technology in its core. The new update features a full ground contact outsole to provide great stability. The distinctive, asymmetric midsole design gives full support by holding your midfoot in place through the side-frame in the middle of the shoe, and your heel through the unique wrap-around design of the sole. Meanwhile, with cleverly located flex-zones, the shoe remains fully flexible. After introducing Gore-Tex to the platform in AW21, the newest SS22 edition is the next evolution of this product group. By introducing the BREATHRU concept on this platform, we can ensure great breathability on this group that is perfect for the summer weather.
