KNOW YOUR TECH breaks down the scientific technology used in your favorite sneakers and activewear. Let’s demystify your next purchase: today’s technology is Lotto ReactiveArch. This concave outsole design is utilized in a range of the brand's soccer, tennis, and running shoes for energy return, impact protection, and stability.

What is it? A dynamic rubber outsole designed with a concave form. It is constructed to flex and move in unison with the natural deformation movement of the forefoot's transversal arch. Putting an emphasis on energy return, Lotto ReactiveArch favors the elastic return of the forefoot area.

How does it work? As the foot makes impact, Lotto ReactiveArch reduces the pressure of each step and returns the energy to the direction you're moving. During maximum load, the surface area of ReactiveArch spreads out for extra stability. Finally, ReactiveArch influences a fast and efficient elastic return of the forefoot, allowing for quick, powerful movements whether you're on the tennis court or running the track.

Notable products: Raptor Ultra IV, Vector V, Zhero Gravity

Bottom line: Lotto ReactiveArch technology offers a stable, high-performance outsole for activities including soccer, tennis, and running.
