Recovery Elements & Performance
The Kane Revive has a number of elements to help with recovery and a lot of it seems like subtle little elements here and there, they all contribute to the overall experiences. First, all the exterior holes as well as the interior channel cut-outs have been modeled to improve airflow and allow your foot to breath better. Second, they have added these little bumps on the footbed Kane refers to as “nodes”. These nodes are designed to stimulate your foot and improve blood flow. Next, they have done a solid job with anatomical design providing solid arch support, a 10mm heel drop, and a decent heel cup. Lastly, they have segmented and added grips to the well-cushioned midsole/outsole which allows for better flexibility while also providing a solid grip.
Construction & Materials
Kane has created a new foam for the Revive, something they call BounceBack. This foam is made of fully renewable non-GMO sugarcane sourced from Brazil. This means they are both vegan and waterproof. Durability on them is spectacular and they also handle color loss and abrasion very well, they almost look as good as the day they came out of the box.
