ALLSWIFIT Launches Active5K to Make Elite-Performance Running Shoes Finally Accessible

NEW YORK, Jan. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- For years, the running industry has chased extremes—longer distances, higher stacks, bigger promises, and shoes have gotten more complex. But for most runners, the real challenge isn't going farther. It's starting. It's returning. It's showing up consistently.

ALLSWIFIT's newly launched Active5K is built precisely for that reality. Designed for first 5Ks, comeback runs, and the everyday 5–10 km where habits are formed, Active5K focuses on the miles most runners actually run—not the ones brands love to glorify.

Instead of maximalism, Active5K prioritizes what makes running feel achievable: a lighter build, controlled impact, and efficient energy return that keeps legs fresh and momentum steady. The result is a streamlined running shoe purpose-engineered for shorter, everyday distances—helping runners move smoother, feel more confident, and experience less resistance from the very first step.

Premium Cushioning Technology Without the Premium Price

At the core of Active5K is Supercritical SupFoam paired with Propelix™ cushioning—an advanced midsole system typically reserved for premium performance running shoes priced well above $150. Created through a supercritical foaming process, the midsole delivers a measured balance of softness and responsiveness, producing a 67% high-rebound energy return that absorbs impact on landing and efficiently redirects energy into toe-off.

This balanced cushioning system reduces vibration at ground contact and helps limit cumulative stress on joints and muscles—key factors in minimizing delayed onset muscle soreness and supporting faster recovery between runs. The result is a shoe that protects early-stage runners without muting ground feel or momentum, making it well suited for walk-to-run transitions, return-to-training phases, and consistent 5–10 km mileage.

Rocker Geometry Designed to Reduce Resistance

Active5K features a carefully tuned rocker geometry that promotes smoother heel-to-toe transitions and reduces abrupt, braking-style landings. By encouraging natural forward motion, the design helps runners maintain rhythm and efficiency, lowering both physical strain and the mental resistance that often makes running feel harder than it should.

Stability You Can Rely On Without Overcorrection

Stability is integrated where it matters most. Active5K incorporates a built-in EVA stability plate to support balanced landings and controlled toe-off, paired with a mesh-covered foam insole that provides contoured arch support throughout the gait cycle. This approach delivers confidence underfoot without the stiffness or bulk of traditional stability shoes.

A high-traction, slip-resistant rubber outsole further enhances control on wet pavement and variable road conditions, reducing the likelihood of common aches, missteps, and fatigue-related instability—particularly during run-walk training and longer sessions when form begins to break down.

Lightweight Engineering Without Compromise

Weighing approximately 10 ounces per shoe in a men's size 9, Active5K keeps the overall feel light, responsive, and easy to manage over repeated runs. The upper combines breathable jacquard mesh with targeted TPU reinforcement, delivering airflow, structure, and durability without unnecessary weight. Inside, a mesh-covered foam insole adds comfort and impact reduction while maintaining a secure, adaptive fit.

Built for Running, Designed for Life

While engineered specifically for 5–10 km road running, Active5K is designed to transition seamlessly beyond training sessions. Its stable platform, cushioned ride, and clean, modern silhouette make it suitable for gym workouts, travel, long shifts on foot, and everyday wear—reflecting the realities of how today's runners move through their day.

Performance Made More Accessible

With Active5K, ALLSWIFIT continues to narrow the gap between elite performance technology and everyday runners. By concentrating on cushioning, stability, energy return, and fit—the features that matter most for everyday runners—ALLSWIFIT delivers a shoe that feels premium without unnecessary complexity or cost.
