A new type of athlete is taking over South Africa. We call them the “Hybrid Athlete” runners who don’t just chase PBs on the road, but also push their limits in the “box.” With the rise of the HYROX fitness racing phenomenon, the demand for gear that can do it all has never been higher.
- The Specialist: PUMA x HYROX HYROX is a brutal combination of 8 x 1km runs interspersed with functional movements like sled pushes and burpee broad jumps. You can’t do that in a standard racing flat.
- PUMA x HYROX: The Deviate Nitro series is the official footwear of choice. It balances high-propulsion Nitro foam for the running splits with PUMAGRIP the stickiest outsole material available giving you the traction you need to move a 150kg sled across the floor.
- The Daily Driver: adidas Evo SL If you aren’t ready for a specialized race shoe but want something that can handle a 10km tempo run and a heavy lifting session on the same day, look no further than the adidas Evo SL.
- It uses the same Lightstrike Pro foam found in world-record-breaking shoes but without the stiff carbon plate. This makes it more flexible and “grounded” for gym work while still being incredibly fast on the road.
Versatility is Key Transitioning between different training modalities requires gear that supports your arches and cushions your landing. Explore the full Performance Collection at Totalsports on Bash to find your perfect hybrid partner.
