Ultralight evolves with new colors and enhanced performance benefits

Durham, N.C. (January 29, 2019) – Balega International, a leading performance sock brand in the run specialty market, updates its innovative Ultralight collection for Spring 2019 with new colorways, improved fit and compression, as well as enhanced cushioning in the No Show model (MSRP: $13 USD).

Made from ultra-fine, high-tech performance yarns on a high needle count knitting machine, Balega’s Ultralight sock offers the sheerest, lightest performance design while still providing critical protection. This medium-low volume sock offers enhanced, strategically shaped cushioning to not only follow the contours of your heel, but to also provide added comfort over the toe area. In addition, the strategic cushioning provides maximum protection and impact resistance. Balega’s proprietary Drynamix® moisture wicking fibers and reinforced microfiber mesh ventilation panels keep feet cool and dry.

The fit of the Ultralight is defined by the Left/Right sock construction and the differentiated elastic bands that provide compression and ensure the perfect fit. Unique to all Balega products, the Ultralight offers Balega’s trademark hand-linked toe closure system for a seamless, non-irritating fit. 

Balega’s Ultralight running socks are offered in a range of on-trend new colors for Spring 2019. The No Show will feature 10 new colorway offerings for Spring 2019, including: Aqua/Pink, Electric Pink/Tangerine, Lilac/Aqua, Aloe/Red, French Blue/Lime, White/French Blue, Grey/White, Black/Lime, Midgrey and Ink/Cobalt.

“The Ultralight running sock is as light as a feather and it’s specifically designed to provide contoured protection you can’t even feel on your foot,” explained Tanya Pictor, Vice President of Balega and FuelBelt Marketing. “We are excited to re-launch this collection with a new updates as well as fashionable new colors.”
