910 NineTen, a national shoe manufacturer, has once again made history in its existence in supporting the world of running. At the prestigious Maybank Marathon in Bali which was held on Sunday, August 25, 2024, 910 NineTen supported two world athletes, namely Bernard Musau Wambua and Raphael Gacheru Karita. They performed optimally with 910 NineTen performance outfits and 910NineTen Geist Ekiden Pro shoes.
The two Kenyan runners managed to reach the top of the podium in the Half Marathon category. Bernard won first place with a time of 01:04:16 with an average pace of 3:03 min/ km. Meanwhile, Raphael was in second place (runner up) with a time of 01:05:11 with an average pace of 3:06 min/ km.
Geist Ekiden Pro is designed with a combination of upper and bottom technology to accommodate marathon runners to achieve their best times. Geist Ekiden Pro uses a 910 outsole with updated carbon fiber plate technology that has increased its stiffness by 20% to increase the bounce and also functions as an additional energy return to increase power efficiency when running.
The midsole uses two materials (swift foam & fast foam) with different characteristics so that the carbon plate functions optimally. On the upper, the Geist Ekiden Pro is equipped with lightweight Maxi-Breathe Upper Tech technology and reduces the weight of the shoe by 20 grams.
The technological superiority of Geist Ekiden Pro has successfully brought Bernard and Raphael to the top of the podium. This victory adds to the list of achievements that have been achieved by 910NineTen, including 910 NineTen athletes successfully reaching the podium at AB Run Bali 2024 and Borobudur Run 2023.
