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:

Upgraded CQTEXTREME midsole combined with TPEEP (performance tpee) compound delivers strong rebound with long-lasting durability. The race-tuned geometry (30mm forefoot / 36mm heel, 6mm drop) reduces ground contact time and improves moving efficiency, helping runners maintain speed deep into long-distance efforts.
DURABLE HIGH STRENGTHCARBON-FILAMENT UPPER
Innovative carbon filament construction offers higher tensile strength with lower material density. The lightweight structure provides reliable foot containment and long-term durability, supporting aggressive running without unnecessary weight or material fatigue.
Full-length QU!KBONE-DYN multi-dimensional carbon plate features woven carbon-fiber layers that respond to forces from different directions. This adaptive design delivers efficient propulsion while maintaining stability, making acceleration smoother and more controlled rather than overly rigid.
Weighing approximately 200g (US 8.5), FLAME 5 FUTURE achieves competitive lightweight performance. Optimized RPU outsole further cuts weight and improves transition efficiency, ensuring speed without sacrificing structure or durability.

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.
