The Spanish brand announced a few months ago its collaboration with one of the most prestigious marathons in the world, and now presents the customized version of its popular model R-2000.
Joma lands for the first time at the 38th edition of the Venice Marathon as the official technical sponsor and official supplier of special edition footwear. On Sunday, October 27, the brand will make its debut in the Italian city offering runners the customized R-2000 model specially designed for the event. These running shoes have been designed to offer a perfect combination of cushioning, reactivity, and lightness, ensuring optimal performance for both professional runners and enthusiasts.
The R-2000 Venice Marathon shoes have been developed with a strong Venetian inspiration. In honor of the host city, the shoes display the distinctive colors of Venice: red, inserted in bands on the upper, and gold, embedded in the midsole, on which the name of the city is engraved. Furthermore, this year marks the seven hundredth anniversary of the death of Marco Polo, an emblematic figure in the history of Venice. Therefore, the bust of the traveler, merchant, and writer appears on the shoe as a tribute.
Runners participating in this international marathon will be able to benefit from the high performance of the R.2000 Venice Marathon and its spectacular design until completing the fascinating 42.195 km route.
Technical features of the R-2000 Venice Marathon
The R-2000 running shoes are designed to support the pace required by the competition for each distance that will be run in the Venice Marathon event: 42k, 21k, and 10k. They are the most complete that Joma has ever produced. They offer a balanced experience with every step, thanks to their excellent cushioning, high reactivity, and lightness, aspects that minimize effort and increase performance in the race.
The upper is made of technical mesh, ultra-breathable and lightweight, with VTS perforations that promote sweat ventilation. The JOMA SPORTECH thermosealed closure system ensures foot support.
Additionally, its wider sole provides comfortable support. The 10mm drop midsole is built with dual material to ensure greater stability. In the rear, it features FLY REACTIVE technology, a lightweight and flexible material that offers excellent propulsion while softening the fit. In the front, the high-density phylon absorbs impacts.
Finally, the DURABILITY rubber sole has very good abrasion resistance on asphalt, which extends the lifespan.
