ion-mask™, technology by P2i, is used by world-renowned designer of innovative footwear, ECCO, to enhance its revolutionary running shoe with a difference.
Danish shoemaker, ECCO, has combined its 45 years of studying the human foot with research from top experts in the biomechanics of running. The outcome is BIOM – the shoe that lets your body follow its preferred motion paths.
Tested extensively by world-class triathlete, Torbjørn Sindballe, BIOM provides support for impact without interfering with the foot’s own highly effective natural systems. By avoiding excessive cushioning and motion control, the foot is free to follow its preferred motion paths, enabling it to build muscle and strength for optimal performance.
Crucial to obtaining this level of performance is the shoe’s construction. Using ion-mask™, P2i’s revolutionary liquid repellent nano-coating, and only materials that maximize its benefits, the ECCO BIOM is 100% hydrophobic and 100% breathable. In fact, because ion-mask™ is nanoscopic (one thousand times thinner than a human hair) it doesn’t alter the look, feel or weight of the shoe at all, maximizing both comfort and performance.
