Joma has announced the launch of the official shoes for the Movistar Madrid Medio Maratón, one of Spain’s premier races. This exclusive model, specifically designed for the half marathon, incorporates the latest technology with a carbon plate that promises to maximise running efficiency and speed.

The R-1000 shoes, designed to provide the best experience for runners of all abilities, incorporate the latest innovations in sports technology. It is a model with a carbon plate that optimises running efficiency, superior energy return, and a smoother transition in each stride. It also features a high-energy return midsole and enhanced cushioning thanks to FLY REACTIVE technology.

This year, a record-breaking 24,000 runners are expected to enjoy the best parts of Madrid while completing the 13.1 miles wearing the exclusive R-1000 Movistar Madrid Half Marathon shoes.

The special footwear for the 2025 edition merges the official colours of the Movistar Madrid Medio Maratón with emblematic details of the city. On the elegant white upper, the silhouette of the iconic bear and the strawberry tree has been added, matching the official event t-shirt. The characteristic blue of the race has been incorporated into the midsole with the inscription “Madrid”. In addition, the sole is magenta to give it a touch of colour and thus break with the traditional chromatics of the race.

The R-1000 shoes have a more flexible and lower density plate, ideal for experienced runners looking to improve their performance without sacrificing comfort. Its less aggressive and more stable design makes it a perfect choice for training and competing. Along with FLY REACTIVE technology, they achieve superior reactivity while absorbing impacts.

As for the upper, it is made of technical mesh, very light and breathable. The VTS ventilation system regulates foot temperature and keeps it constant. On the other hand, the thermosealed adjustment system JOMA SPORTECH is located in strategic areas that need more support.

The sole is made of high-quality DURABILITY rubber with resistance to abrasion on asphalt.

Ultimately, Joma has created this special model so that runners feel the support and quality of our footwear at every step of the route, which this year goes through the best parts of the Spanish capital.
