Company Summary

Runners, you’ve been wasting your energy. New research shows it’s impossible for any one shoe to work efficiently at all paces. Vimazi solved the problem. Our pace-tuned shoes are scientifically proven to return 3X more energy than the Nike Vaporfly. Started by industry veterans, we’re a multi-channel D2C brand with a major discovery, breakthrough app, proprietary power metric, and patent-pending midsole tech. We’re set to break running.
