 KT is short for Kinetic Technology (or Kinetic Training) and 26 represents the number of miles in a marathon.The shoe featured a light weight upper, wedge shape and wide flared sole to spread impact and increase traction and a hard wearing rubber sole with a tread pattern of "cantilevered" large deep lugs and voids which provided 360° grip edges and was relatively self-cleaning making it useful in wet and muddy conditions.The Dunlop KT26 became a lasting favourite.
