The EM Road M 2 v2 running shoe from Pearl Izumi strikes the perfect balance of cushioning and stability, with improved flexibility, softer heel cushioning and an incredibly comfortable seamless upper. Pearl Izumi's 3-D Seamless Print Upper Technology adds lightweight structure and upper integrity. Efficient thermoregulation and moisture drainage are achieved through the use of Transfer Dry Spacer Mesh in the upper, keeping your foot cool and dry during your run. 1:1 Energy Foam in both the heel and forefoot means that the EM Road M 2 v2 can deliver a softer cushion upon initial impact in the heel, then return that energy back to the runner through the forefoot during the propulsion stage of the stride. Blown rubber in the forefoot and carbon rubber in the crash pad combine for great cushioning and abrasion resistance. The dynamic offset-shaped E:MOTION ™ midsole is biomechanically tuned for a mild over-pronation running gait and the high-density post at medial mid-foot is engineered for pronation control.
