NORTH FACE LITEWAVE AMPERE – a shoe light years ahead of the rest
The North Face is much more than just the world’s premier supplier of outdoor kit. Recent advances into the exercise market has ensured the company has long since lost its reputation as being the sole preserve of walkers, climbers and adventurers.
This push has continued with the men’s Litewave Ampere shoes.
Built for the toughest training sessions, they form a key part of the new Mountain Athletics collection which has been launched across the UAE and features 10 items which also include hoodies, tees and shorts.
With an eye-catching blue and yellow colouring, they are hard to miss. Look beyond the visuals – which also include a more-demure grey/red alternative – and you will find an essential addition for people intent on breaking a sweat.
Available now from Dubai Mall and Mirdif City Centre and selected Sun and Sand Sports stores, the Dh399 shoes incorporate intricate technology to keep the user cool and supported through its breathable mesh on the outsole.
They feel lightweight to the touch, yet are durable enough for any workout.
The North Face’s CRADLE heel stability technology and compression- molded single-density EVA midsole ensure the wearer will also feel reassuring stability under foot.
Allied with the sole’s low profile and a full-length TPU plate, it produces an excellent energy return and push-through to keep wearers going on past their personal bests.
The true genius of this product comes from The North Face’s origins. The excellent adidas BOOST or Asics Gel trainers feel comfortable on the gym or in the kindest of trails, yet you feel you could take the Litewave Amperes anywhere. Strap on a pair now and reach new heights.
