Runner Pace-Influenced Sneakers

These Vimazi Sneakers Have the Proprietary FastPod Technology

These Vimazi sneakers have been showcased at the 2022 TRE show as a comfortable, performance-ready footwear style created with marathon runners in mind. The shoes feature the brand's proprietary FastPod midsole technology, which is customized according to the model and rated to work optimally for a runner's pace. The sneakers include the Z20, Z30, Z40, Z50, Z60 and Z70, which are constructed with different running paces in mind ranging from low to high.

Co-Founder and CEO Scott Tucker spoke on the sneakers saying, "Our shoes change the paradigm from the one-size-fits-all super shoe to specific pace-tuned models that work best for each individual. We can’t wait to get more shoes on runners’ feet."

The new Vimazi sneakers are set to hit the market in 2023.
