History : Paramount 3('10), Paramount 2('09), Paramount('07)

Blown Rubber : Is lightweight and flexible. It provides added cushioning while maintaining durability and a smooth ride.

Comfortemp® : Material that monitors heat/cold to keep your feet at a comfortable 82 degrees.

Comfortride Sockliner : Breathable, moisture wicking, anti-odor and anti-microbial Comfortride insole provides improved step-in comfort with rebound properties

Dual Density SSL EVA : Midsole : An advanced EVA blend that maximizes rebound and durability while minimizing weight.

Flexion Plate : Guiding the foot from heel strike to forefoot using an impact-resistant piece of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). This dampens much of the joint and bone movement in the forefoot that is caused by the high-impact forces of heel strike, allowing you to toe off with more force and less energy.

Hydrator Collar Lining : Gives next to skin comfort and maxizes wicking and the Comfortride sockliner is antimicrobial and breathable.

Impact Interface : Sandwiched at the heel between the SRC Impact Zone and the midsole. This thermoplastic elastomer device cushions and isolates heel impact.

ProGrid® w Respon-Tek : ProGrid with Respon-Tek is a full length cushioning material that is shaped to absorb impact, dissipate shock, and provide a seamless transition from heel to forefoot.

SRC™ Impact Zone : Provides shock attenuation and sets the foot up for a smooth transition.

Stability Arch-Lock™ : A simple but elegant construction method that wraps around the midfoot area and keeps it snugly in position on the midsole. By keeping the arch where it belongs, you enjoy superior comfort, control and support.

XT-900 : Carbon rubber provides durability in the heel and medial forefoot.
