The brand releases one of its lightest running shoes from the collection, the R-5000, with an improvement in terms of lightness and reactivity. Now equipped with a carbon fiber plate CARBON PLATE, they allow athletes with very refined technique to achieve fast paces.
The renewal of one of the oldest sneakers in the R line is making a strong impact. This improvement is the result of hard work from the footwear development and innovation team in collaboration with Joma’s professional athletes. This close collaboration has led to the incorporation of a carbon fiber plate CARBON PLATE into the R-5000 model. A specific competition shoe for professional runners with refined technique who need a lightweight shoe to help them “fly” faster.
This new version continues to maintain the strong point of the legendary R-5000: being super lightweight running shoes designed for runners who run at fast paces. However, the added feature of the CARBON PLATE technology focuses on propulsion, improving efficiency in running, and reducing fatigue. Its high performance has been confirmed by elite athletes such as marathon runner Hicham Sigueni, who set his personal record of 2:10:37 in Valencia wearing them, and who is the protagonist of Joma’s campaign for this relaunch.
Now, they will be available for all running and walking enthusiasts who want to enjoy their potential to “fly light and faster”.
More technology, more performance
The running sneakers R-5000 are packed with technical features, whose main objective is to increase performance when running. Their strong point is the incorporation of a CARBON PLATE carbon fiber plate. Along with the FLY REACTIVE technology of the midsole, these low-profile shoes (6 mm drop) achieve superior reactivity.
The upper is made of lightweight and breathable mesh, finished in custom Jacquard with VTS perforations for sweat ventilation. The thermosealed JOMA SPORTECH adjustment system, located in those areas where more support is needed, provides comfort and lightness to the cut.
Finally, the sole is made of high quality DURABILITY rubber with resistance to abrasion on asphalt. It has only been placed in the areas that have more contact with the ground to add very little weight.
