Running technology inspired by the natural wisdom of the human body and the timeless beauty of Greek sculpture. AXICORE is at the centre of Ena’s patent pending running technology. Mimicking the form of the human body, AXICORE distributes impact and returns energy across multiple axes thanks to its flexible tendon-like core. This allows runners to push further and faster in a fluid, biomorphic way.
