361 Flame 5 Future

Building on the Flame 5, the Flame 5 Future is the hyper-light, ultra-responsive sibling designed specifically for elite, podium-chasing athletes. It strips away every non-essential gram to deliver a faster, more aggressive ride.

Dual-Density Propulsion (The Midsole)
While the standard Flame 5 focuses on max cushioning, the Future utilizes a CQTEXTREM3 dual-density system for targeted performance:

Soft Landing: The upper layer (40C Supercritical foam) provides high-rebound cushioning to effectively manage landing impact.

Firm Take-off: The lower layer (45C Supercritical foam) is denser, ensuring controlled deformation and a firmer, more powerful energy return during toe-off.

Dynamic Carbon Plate: The QU!KBONE-DYN split-toe shovel-type carbon plate is engineered with a bionic bone structure to align with metatarsal pressure points, creating a direct force pathway and sharper response.

The Future variant adopts a zero-burden design for high-intensity racing.

Featherweight Construction: Uses an innovative, low-density woven yarn that provides high strength and superior flex endurance while cutting redundant weight.

Precision Support: A lightweight film is strategically integrated into key zones to offer a "barefoot-like" fit and total flexibility.

Race Comfort: Features the same asymmetrical Comfort-Fit Tongue to relieve lace pressure and a heel counter-free design for weight reduction and natural foot molding.

The Future features a more aggressive profile compared to the standard model:

Lighter & Lower: A total weight of 200g (20g lighter than the Flame 5) with a lower stack height of 30mm forefoot / 36mm rearfoot.

Fast Roll-Through: A narrowed sole base (63mm midfoot vs 70mm on the Flame 5) minimizes ground contact time and improves roll-through efficiency.

Optimized Grip: Strategic RPU outsole placement further shaves weight while promoting a seamless forefoot roll for a faster cadence.
