0 KipRun (Decathlon) is not just updating its lineup; it is aggressively restructuring the daily running shoe market. By launching the Kiprun Kipride (SGD105, currently SGD99) and the Kiprun Kipride Max (SGD129), Kiprun is offering runners an unprecedented choice of high-tech cushioning at highly accessible prices.
The Foundation, Starting off with KipRun KipRide
The standard Kiprun Kipride is the versatile, all-day running workhorse. Its regular price is SGD105, but it is currently available for an excellent sale price of SGD99 (at the time of writing). It features the new Fastech midsole foam to maximize shock absorption and versatility.
| Feature | Kipride (Current Sale 99 SGD) |
| Foam Technology | Fastech Foam |
| Cushioning Gain | 42% more shock absorption vs. KS900 Light |
| Energy Return | 30% more energy return vs. KS900 Light |
| Weight | 235 grams |
| Drop / Stack | 6mm (30mm/36mm) |
| Primary Role | Ultra-Versatile Daily Running, Jogging, Training |
The KipRide midsole stack height and 6mm drop is expected to provide a fluid, lightweight ride. Thereby, making it a perfect single-shoe solution for beginners or regular runners who needs a highly dependable and comfortable option.
Stepping Up: The KipRun KipRide Max
For runners prioritizing maximum comfort and protection, the Kiprun Kipride Max enters the max-cushion segment. While its local price of SGD129 is outstanding, its globally announced USD160 MSRP confirms that KipRun is positioning it to compete with incumbents in the max cushioing category.
| Feature | Kipride Max (129 SGD) |
| Foam Technology | SOFTECH+ Foam |
| Cushioning Gain | 34% more cushioning vs. KS900.2 |
| Energy Return | 69% more energy return vs. KS900.2 |
| Weight | 271 grams |
| Drop / Stack | 6mm (36mm/42mm) |
| Primary Role | Maximum Cushioning, Long Runs, Absolute Comfort |
The Kipride Max leverages the even softer SOFTECH+ foam to deliver Kiprun’s most generous cushioning ever. Its sophisticated upper uses 360° Tongue & Collar construction and Fitting Sniper technology to ensure ultra-precise foot support, a crucial detail in a high-stack comfort shoe. The eco-designed upper, made from almost entirely recycled materials, also adds to its appeal.
Key Initial Takeaway: KipRun Leveling Up, Delivering Performance with Value
Kiprun has delivered a stunning one-two punch in the daily trainer category:
- The Kipride redefines the entry-level with high-tech Fastech foam, a modern drop, and an ultra-light feel. Its current sale price of SGD99 makes it a steal, even compared to its regular SGD105 price. The US price is yet to be announced, but based on local pricing, it is expected to be highly competitive.
- The Kipride Max, with its premium global price of USD160, justifies its cost by featuring a massive 42mm stack height, the softest SOFTECH+ foam, and an energy return that rivals top-tier cushioned shoes. At SGD129 locally, it represents an outstanding value proposition that runners should not ignore.
The strategy is clear for KipRun. Runners should no longer have to sacrifice modern cushioning technology for price. Whether you need an affordable, lightweight all-rounder (Kipride) or a maximal shoe for long runs (Kipride Max), Kiprun has created a compelling, high-value option, making these two models a must-watch for any runner in 2026.
