The shoes, inspired by the iconic Dom Luís I Bridge, combine design and lab-tested technology.
The city of Porto and its most recognizable landmark, the Don Luís I bridge, serve as inspiration for the R-5000 Joma x Maratona do Porto, the official sneakers for the 2025 edition. This exclusive model, equipped with a carbon plate, combines the historical identity of the city with Joma’s signature technology and sports performance.
Runners will compete wearing the R-5000 x Maratona do Porto on November 2nd. As the official technical sponsor, Joma’s goal is to provide maximum performance, comfort, and lab-tested reliability.
Special edition R-5000 x Maratona do Porto
Designed specifically for this collaboration, the R-5000 x Maratona do Porto feature a vibrant yellow symbolizing Porto’s energy and vitality. Printed over this color is the city’s skyline, highlighting the silhouette of the Don Luís I bridge, an iconic urban landmark. This architectural masterpiece symbolizes the union of both riverbanks and generations of Portuguese people, becoming a timeless icon.
Advanced technology and laboratory testing
The R-5000 has been rigorously lab-tested to ensure reliability, durability, and maximum performance. Each component has been evaluated under extreme conditions of impact, torsion, and wear, ensuring optimal performance on any course or race situation.
This model specifically incorporates CARBON PLATE technology in the midsole, along with the next-generation FLY REACTIVE material. Both systems optimize running biomechanics and maximize speed without sacrificing comfort. It is ideal for maintaining high paces in short-distance races while remaining lightweight (247 grams).
Additionally, the technical mesh upper is ultra-breathable and lightweight. Thanks to the VTS system, sweat is efficiently expelled and moisture is optimally managed. The thermosealed JOMA SPORTECH adjustment system eliminates friction points while comfortably securing the upper.
In short, both the shoes and the official shirt, designed under the same creative concept, will be a symbol for all participants, proudly worn throughout this year’s event.
