The DALTOPED ® system has also enabled Joe Nimble to radically simplify the manufacture of the shoes – eliminating key production steps.Įxplaining more, Johan Van Dyck, Global Application Development Manager at Huntsman, said: "It's always a pleasure to work with Sebastian and his team, and our colleagues at Footwear Innovation Lab and it is very exciting to be part of a project where the science of running and the biometrics of the feet are translated so closely into the design and construction of a shoe and its sole.

Based on a special dual density DALTOPED ® polyurethane system from Huntsman – named nmblFOAM ® by Joe Nimble – this technology delivers a running shoe with physiologically balanced cushioning and zero heel elevation.

With a wider, anatomically correct toe box that provides a natural stabilizing function during the ground contact phase of running, muscles are protected from overuse.Īdding extra comfort and performance-enhancing potential, Ultreya running shoes feature a high energy return polyurethane midsole. While conventional running shoes restrict the toes and prevent their natural anchoring and stabilizing function, Ultreya utilizes Joe Nimble's toefreedom ® technology into the shoe-last design to increase stability of the foot in motion. Joe Nimble's Ultreya, which launched this week with a limited edition drop, offer extra comfort to marathon and long-distance runners, and can help minimize the risk of pain and injury.ĭesigned by Joe Nimble founder, Sebastian Bär, alongside acclaimed biomechanics expert Lee Saxby, Ultreya shoes have a unique design that helps protect the feet of serious runners, who can typically cover around 40 miles per week. THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Ma/PRNewswire/ - Polyurethane experts from Huntsman (NYSE: HUN) have collaborated with running shoe specialist Joe Nimble and Footwear Innovation Lab GmbH on an innovation project – a revolutionary, high-performance running shoe.
