Biometrics inform Joe Nimble’s high-performance shoe

Polyurethane experts from Huntsman have collaborated with footwear brand Joe Nimble and Germany’s Footwear Innovation Lab to create a high-performance running shoe. 

Ultreya has been designed by Joe Nimble founder Sebastian Bär alongside biomechanics expert Lee Saxby, with wider toe box that provides a natural stabilising function during the ground contact phase of running.
