POWERFUL REBOUND, LONG-LASTING RESILIENCE
Powered by CQT FLAME and upgraded eCO E40 nylon material, with hardness lowered to 40C, up to 85% energy feedback, and 80% rebound rate—delivering soft comfort, strong responsiveness, and durable performance that resists compression over time.
THICKER STACK, MAXIMUM CUSHIONING
Featuring a 6mm drop (33mm forefoot / 39mm heel) paired with a 4mm eco-friendly supercritical insole for enhanced shock absorption and comfort. The extended rear heel geometry supports both forefoot and heel strike patterns for versatile running adaptation.
BUILT-IN ROLLING MOTION, EFFORTLESS LONG RUNS
Powered by QU!K BONE-DYN+ and CARBON DOME core technologies. Unlike traditional flat carbon plates, the full-length curved structure follows natural foot dynamics, delivering enhanced torsional protection and stability for smoother transitions, stronger propulsion, and greater running efficiency.
FEATHERLIGHT LOCKDOWN, ZERO BREAK-IN
The upper is constructed from recycled carbon yarn (65% ETPU / 35% nylon), with fibers made from corn-based recycled materials for breathable, eco-conscious performance. Paired with the MORPHIT lacing system, it delivers precise lockdown without pressure points—eliminating ankle friction and instep discomfort for distraction-free long-distance running.
ABRASION-RESISTANT TRACTION FOR BOTH DRY AND WET ROADS
The full-length RPU outsole delivers strong surface grip through enhanced physical adhesion, allowing smooth transitions between dry and wet roads. Whether for daily training or peak-speed runs, it provides consistent, long-lasting support—keeping every stride stable and energy-efficient.
Sustainable Speed (The Upper)
Built with a commitment to the planet, the upper features a recycled corn-based yarn (65% ETPU / 35% Nylon). This eco-friendly mesh is ultra-light, breathable, and highly abrasion-resistant.
Precision Fit: The MORPHIT lacing system and asymmetrical Comfort-Fit tongue provide a secure midfoot lockdown while eliminating lace pressure on the instep.
Flexible Support: A "Heel No-Counter" design reduces weight and allows the shoe to mold to the foot, while the Big 3 Logo provides structural lateral support.
Maximum Energy Return (The Midsole)
The platform has been upgraded to deliver a more "surging" foot feel through elite-level cushioning.
Higher Stack: The midsole thickness has increased by 3mm (now 39mm in the heel), approaching the maximum IAAF legal limit for peak impact protection.
Premium Materials: Utilizing a VESTAMID® PEBA midsole and a 4mm supercritical molded sockliner, the Flame 5 ensures explosive rebound and softness in every stride.
Optimized Stability (The Geometry)
To handle the increased stack height, the shoe’s geometry has been refined for a smoother transition.
Rocker Tech: A repositioned, set-back heel rocker enhances stability, specifically benefiting midfoot and rearfoot strikers.
Strategic Weight Relief: Strategic hollowing in the midsole reduces bulk while maintaining a snappy, propulsive transition.
