The running shoe market is extremely competitive and creating a new brand, reaching to potential customers, above all meeting objective of customers is next to impossible in the present scenario. However, a leading sports shoe manufacturer is bending the rules and penetrating this competitive market like a cake walk. Prozone, a brand that destroyed the legacy of big brands like Adidas & Nike in most part of India, a second largest country in terms of population in the world. This time its latest product “Energy” has been tested, the name is akin to Adidas Energy Boost but gives you altogether a different experience. Lets go-
Upper: Keeping comfortableness and breathability in mind, upper comprises of multiple layers of mesh woven one over other. The discernible fact is every mesh is woven in such a way that it doesn’t block the air ventilation process and keep the foot sturdy as well. The colours used in the upper are vibrant that will definitely attract runners who prefer to run at night. Another unusual but beneficiary add-on is an elastic band at the back of shoe that helps to wear and remove the quickly in events like Tri-Athlon.
Sole: The outsole is uniquely designed and have dotted structure like golf ball. This structure helps to cut the air friction while running and further supported by aerodynamic design. The sole is divide into two half by means of single line that evenly spread the ground impulse across the foot. However, ground traction seems to be on lower side in Prozone Energy.
Verdict: Overall, Prozone Energy is a terrific shoe that comes under a budget of just INR 2099 which is relatively much cheaper than big brands. The only issue with shoe its adhesiveness with ground, however its snug fit and comfortablity will definitely charm the runners.
