Joma has completely revamped the R-3000 model, improving its reactivity, lightness, and breathability.
The R-3000 was introduced by Joma to revolutionize the running competition line by incorporating the first model with a carbon fiber plate in the brand’s history. After several seasons of small improvements, the best version has now arrived for the most demanding runners: even more reactive, lighter, and breathable shoes.
In more detail, the new R-3000 goes a step further in terms of performance. The FLY REACTIVE technology has been incorporated into the midsole, common throughout the R line. This system, developed to achieve maximum performance in competition, creates an extreme feeling of propulsion under the feet: with each stride, the material absorbs and softens impacts, stores that energy, and automatically returns it when the tension relaxes.
The CARBON PLATE carbon fiber plate maintains its shape and density. Its curvature, more pronounced than in other Joma models like the R-1000 or R-5000, enables the runner to save energy and increase their performance by 2% if they are professional runners. These data were obtained from the performance study by UCLM developed for Joma on this model. The use of this type of plate is recommended for athletes who land on the midfoot or forefoot and maintain very fast paces, under 3 and a half minutes.
On the other hand, the new R-3000 feature a lower profile. Unlike the previous model, the drop has been reduced to 6 mm, making them even more technical shoes for those who do not need as much cushioning in the heel.
Professional athletes like María Barbero have tested the changes introduced in the R-3000. These efficient and dynamic shoes dominate Joma’s premium range, perfect for taking off and “dominating the sky”.
High performance in breathability and comfort
Joma has also given a facelift to the upper of the R-3000 with the aim of optimizing sweat expulsion. A very light thread has been used for its construction, which, together with the VTS ventilation system, manages to regulate moisture inside the footwear and maintain a constant foot temperature even at very fast paces.
As for the fit, it now has an ergonomic collar and a lightweight elastic tongue attached to the cut. This makes its use more comfortable. The JOMA SPORTECH thermosealed system has been placed in strategic areas to hold the foot without adding extra weight to the shoe.
Finally, the sole remains made of DURABILITY rubber and is only found on the parts that have the most contact with the ground. This material has high levels of resistance to abrasion.
