Joma x ACEA Run Rome The Marathon: the Rs9000 inspired by the Roman Empire

The Rs9000 completes Joma’s collection for Rome’s major race

Joma expands its official collection for the ACEA Run Rome The Marathon 2026 with the Rs9000 inspired by the Roman Empire, the most demanding model in its competition line. This special edition joins the R-2000 and R-5000, three performance-driven options designed to take on the 42.195 km marathon distance with a distinct identity.

With this launch, Joma reinforces its commitment to elite performance in one of the most iconic events on the international running calendar, blending innovation, competition and historical inspiration in a collection created for the streets of Rome.

126.1 grams of innovation built for elite racing

The Rs9000 represents Joma’s most ambitious approach to lightweight performance. Weighing just 126.1 grams, it is engineered for runners who compete at high speeds and demand maximum efficiency in every stride.

Its technical construction is designed to optimize energy return and running economy:

  • Nylon upper reinforced with polyamide, ensuring a precise fit and high breathability without adding structural weight.

  • LIGHT REACTIVE technology, an injected PEBAX compound that delivers explosive reactivity and optimized cushioning.

  • Internal carbon plate, designed to enhance propulsion and stabilize transitions at faster paces.

  • 8 mm drop, promoting a consistent forward-driving sensation.

  • Ultra-light and durable CPU outsole, strategically placed to improve traction without increasing overall weight.

A racing shoe developed for competitive marathon runners who approach the distance with ambition, precision and performance in mind.

Gladiator essence brought to competition

The Rs9000 translates the visual identity inspired by Imperial Rome onto the asphalt. The white upper takes center stage, providing purity, balance and visual clarity, serving as the foundation of this special edition design.

Red and gold accents introduce the symbolism that defines the collection for the ACEA Run Rome The Marathon 2026. Red, visible on the outsole and graphic details, evokes Roman military standards and represents strength, determination and competitive spirit. Gold, integrated into the midsole and finishing elements, symbolizes greatness, honor and ambition, values deeply rooted in the legacy of the Roman Empire.

The result is more than a racing shoe. It is a statement of character, connecting history and performance on the streets of Rome during one of the year’s most prestigious marathons.
