WHAT IS
PROTECTION/PERFORMANCE?

Exclusive to adidas, adiPRENEŽ and adiPRENEŽ+ are cushioning materials which respond to the different needs of the heel and forefoot. adiPRENEŽ absorbs impact in the heel, providing superior cushioning and protection. In the forefoot, adiPRENEŽ+ enhances performance by providing propulsion and resiliency at toe-off, and better dynamic movement.

HEEL	FOREFOOT
Has to absorb up to 8 times own body weight (dependent on sport). The landing movement causes joints, cartilage, ligaments, muscles and the viscous fat pad to react in an attempt to dissipate some of this impact shock. 30%-50% of this detrimental pressure concentration can be absorbed naturally. The heel's main need is to reduce impact shock and dissipate energy for greater protection.	Impact forces under the forefoot are minimal in comparison with the heel. Therefore, the fat pad under the metatarsals is thinner, more flexible and adaptable. The forefoot is a key structure for the push off movement requiring a dual role: The forefoot transmits propulsive forces to the ground While controlling these forces for overall dynamic stability

FOOT REQUIREMENTS

Throughout the majority of sports, the foot experiences significant impact forces predominantly under the heel and forefoot. These impact forces vary significantly not only between these zones, but between different sporting activities.

PROTECTION During off-balance landings, adiPRENEŽ offers greater shock absorption with better injury prevention.

PERFORMANCE adiPRENEŽ+ enhances the active propulsive forces for a more efficient toe-off.
