Elite Boxing Shoes: technology steps into the ring

The star feature of the new Elite Boxing Shoes is the Michelin sole, developed to offer grip, flexibility and support, guiding the athlete through the sport’s most dynamic movements. The circular tread pattern is designed to facilitate lateral movements, which are fundamental to a boxer’s footwork, whilst the wide contact surface helps ensure grip and durability. The flex grooves allow the sole to adapt to the foot’s movements, promoting natural mobility during movement and rapid changes of direction. A combination of technical features designed to offer the athlete control and freedom of movement in the ring. Rounding off the design is a specialised compound for indoor surfaces – soft, non-slip and non-marking – developed to provide good grip on flat, even surfaces without leaving marks on the floor.

The sole technology is complemented by a lightweight upper and a high-top design, featuring an additional ankle strap to provide greater support during movement and changes of direction.

With the Elite Boxing Shoes, Everlast and Soles by Michelin reaffirm the value of a partnership that puts technology at the service of performance. A fusion of sporting tradition and engineering expertise, in which every element of the tread is designed to meet the demands of boxing.
