The heel of the shoes features a new design.

The recently released models use a new material called "hyper-cushion," which lets runners push off from the ground surface more forcefully and absorbs the impact when the foot hits the ground. The result is a smoother, more nimble run. Other features include a more even distribution of impact when the foot hits the ground, a better fit, and a more lightweight shoe.

These are not the only innovative running shoes available for kids who want to get the edge on sports day. In one line, the spikes have been repositioned to make it easier to run around curved corners. These, too, have been very popular among children.
