Designed to help young runners last longer, the PATRIOT ™ 12 GS shoe features an AMPLIFOAM ™ midsole for a bouncy and padded feel under the foot. The shoe is designed with a mesh upper that breathes and promotes better airflow, which in turn helps to keep the feet cool during the run. Together with the midsole's AMPLIFOAM ™ technology that helps to create a resilient response and cushioning between each step, this shoe offers excellent durability. Finally, the integration of the outsole in shaped rubber provides additional support, which stems from the internal heel support that helps the foot to stay in place over long distances.
