The secret behind Joma Team’s double success with RS-9000
Joma’s elite athletics team has achieved a new international milestone with Alondra Negrón’s Puerto Rican 10K national record and Alessia Tuccitto’s national marathon title, both performances delivered in the Joma RS-9000, the brand’s most ambitious competition model.
Designed for maximum performance and extreme lightness, weighing just 126 grams, the RS-9000 is built for technical runners competing at very high speeds. Its combination of reactivity, efficiency, and control helps optimize every stride in high-demand scenarios, from fast-paced 10K races to long-distance events such as the marathon.
Alondra Negrón sets a Puerto Rican 10K national record
Puerto Rican distance runner Alondra Negrón clocked an outstanding 32:25 in the 10K race held in Laredo, setting a new national record for Puerto Rico. The performance confirms her progression on the international circuit and her ability to compete at a high level in one of road running’s key distances.
This result positions Alondra among the leading figures in Latin American distance running, thanks to her race efficiency and ability to sustain high paces.
Alessia Tuccitto crowned Italian marathon champion
Meanwhile, Alessia Tuccitto claimed the Italian marathon title, finishing the race in 2:36:16 to secure the national championship in one of the most demanding events on the calendar.
The Italian athlete stood out for her consistency and ability to manage effort over the full 42-kilometer distance, reinforcing her profile as a long-distance specialist.
Joma RS-9000: technology built for elite performance
The Joma RS-9000 represents the brand’s most advanced approach to high-level competition, combining extreme lightness with performance-driven technologies.
Its nylon upper reinforced with polyamide delivers a precise fit and enhanced breathability, maintaining a minimalist structure that reduces weight without compromising support.
In the midsole, LIGHT REACTIVE (PEBAX) technology provides explosive reactivity and optimized cushioning, while the integrated carbon plate maximizes energy return and adds stability at high speeds, ensuring a smoother transition.
The design is completed with an 8 mm drop for added propulsion and a CPU outsole, strategically placed to enhance traction while keeping weight to a minimum.
