PRESS PACK 2016
Kalenji’s KIPRUN brand is for anyone passionate about running, and keen to combine performance with enjoyment.
The new 2016 models take into account the needs intrinsic to the various types of running: dynamism with the Kiprun SD, stability with the Kiprun LD, minimal weight with the Kiprace and grip with the two Trail models.

A thousand ways ofrunning and only one
to wear a shoe!
K I p r U N
Two new developments, the K-Only concept and the exclu-sive sole component, make the 2016 two-model Kiprun range suited to all types of running gait, and with 34% more cushioning than last year’s equivalents.

THE K-ONLY CONCEpT: WHAT IS IT?
In practical terms, the K-Only concept consists of a Pebax® insert at the midsole and a dual density zone beneath the first metatarsal.
WHAT DOES IT ACTUALLY MEAN FOr rUNNErS?
Simplicity! These shoes suit all gait types: pronation, neutral and supination. Hence where the concept gets its name: K for Kalenji; Only, as in: you Only need one solution to suit all gait types.
HOW DID KALENJI DEVISE THIS CONCEpT?
The K-Only is the result of an internal bio-mechanical study and a 6 month longitudinal tracking survey of 372 runners by the Luxembourg Institute of Health.This collaboration between Kalenji, Decathlon SportLabs and the LIH* enabled us to study the impact of shoe type on running-related injuries, thereby identifying which model was the best suited to all gait types.
THE CONCLUSION?
12,558 training sessions, 12,094 hours of running, and an overall distance covered of 116,723km confirmed that the K-Only concept is suitable for all gait types.

So, what’s the trademark of Kiprun Trail XT6?Its unique grip, embodied by a geometric sole design that combines
three different types of lugs, along with a robustness delivered by the new, ultra-durable mesh component.
Trail runners will find the XT6 a versatile shoe, idealfor daily training and competition use, from gentle roads to the
toughest trails.
GRiP The geometry of the sole combines 5mm “delta” lugs, spaced out for added traction and that release mud easily; protruding side lugs for stability on slopes; and a grooved heel combining a crash-pad and lugs for even greater stability.
CuShioninG The K-ring® cushioning con-cept at the heel provides optimum shock absorption.
StABiLity The arkstab® concept improves stability when running, thanks to an element that reduces twisting at the midfoot.
ComFoRt Lace ends can be tidied away in the tiny pocket on the tongue.

Being a lightweight shoe, its dynamism and grip make the Kiprace Trail the ideal competition footwear.
Weighing less than 15 grams, the 2016 will be the perfect companion for trail runners looking to improve their
performance. Lugs are widely spaced out to enable mud to be released more easily, and textured for better traction on
wet ground, whilst providing excellent grip on all surfaces.
