Power Plazma

Also new at Mr Price Sport, the Power Plazma running shoe offers excellent value. These shoes are great for shorter runs and can also be worn comfortably for daily exercise and practice sessions.

The shoe features a silicone pad placed on the heel, clearly visible from the side, below the X-shaped insole, and inside the shoe.

This technology enhances cushioning during running, particularly under the heel, and offers a soft and comfortable feel while providing excellent support and exceptional impact absorption upon landing thanks to its close-to-the-floor design.

The distinctive side view of the Plazma Gel design gives a sleek and unique appearance that highlights the heel support provided by the silicone pad.

The outsole of the Power Plazma running shoe is strategically designed to provide reliable traction on various surfaces, with rubber in areas that require the most contact with the ground, such as the toes and heels.

The shoe features a lightweight foam EVA stable midsole that ensures a balanced combination of cushioning, shock absorption, stability, balance and responsiveness.  An additional midsole is added under the arch area to enhance stability while running.

When combined, the Plazma Gel and EVA stable midsole provide a responsive and supportive experience during activity.

The upper section of the Power Plazma, crafted from breathable Tech-Mesh fabric, promotes proper airflow and ventilation to keep your feet cool and comfortable. It also snugly embraces the contours of your foot, delivering reliable support throughout your runs.

The shoe also features a heel structure that wraps around the ankle, providing support to the Achilles tendon and securing the heel in place for increased confidence during jogging. A reflective stripe on the forefoot offers visibility and safety during low-light or night-time running.

All in all, the Power Plazma is a running shoe that will allow you to move confidently and maintain your speed during shorter runs or practice sessions.
