LGHT + RGHT = Barefoot Running ?



Its official !
Yes, the Minimus..
the shoe that everyone raved about even before its launched in Malaysia.

And so, a little introduction on the shoes..
Minimus is a barefoot-inspired shoe that is lightweight, versatile, minimalist footwear designed to provide a "better than barefoot" experience.

A three shoe collection, NB Minimus will include road running, trail running, and wellness styles.

Key to the NB Minimus Collection is a new anatomically correct last designed with significantly less drop from heel to forefoot. Research shows that the tendency for mid-foot or forefoot strike is correlated to midsole thickness and that less cushioning encourages a mid-foot strike. As a result, each NB Minimus shoe was engineered with a lower sole unit heights. The reduced midsole and outsole thickness also allows the foot to flex up and down more easily.
