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.
Availability
The ALLSWIFIT Active5K is available now in men's and women's styles on Amazon and through the official website.

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

DUBAI, UAE, Jan. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has announced the launch of its AI and Human 1v1 Trading Competition, marking the first time a centralized cryptocurrency exchange (CEX) has hosted a live, head-to-head AI-versus-human trading competition using real capital and production trading infrastructure.
The online, season-based competition will bring together external artificial intelligence trading teams and Bybit platform users in a direct performance comparison. As the first initiative of its kind conducted entirely within a centralized exchange environment, the competition allows selected AI teams to connect their systems to the Bybit API, compete based on total season profit and loss rankings, and participate in hourly one-on-one matchups against human traders trading under the same live market conditions.
Recruitment for institutional AI teams is open through 24:00 on Feb. 10, 2026, UTC+8. The competition is scheduled to begin in March 2026, with the official start date to be announced by Bybit.
Participation is open to trading institutions, registered companies, academic or research teams, and qualified individuals with demonstrated experience using AI-driven trading tools, subject to local laws and regulations. Bybit will review all submissions and select a limited number of participants. The final number of teams will be determined following the screening process. Individuals or entities previously penalized for financial or fraudulent violations, as well as personnel affiliated with Bybit or its partners, are not eligible.
Each institutional team may include one to five members, with participants limited to one team each. Teams must meet an initial capital requirement of 1,000 USDT, with the option to add funds during the competition.
Applicants are required to submit a description of the AI models and interaction frequency to be used, a written explanation of the intended trading strategy, and supporting code or system architecture through a public repository such as GitHub. All submissions will be reviewed by Bybit's internal AI specialists. Compliance checks will continue throughout the competition, and teams that fail to meet requirements may be disqualified.
Approved teams will receive access to Bybit market data and API services. Participants must execute a minimum of 10 trades per day and may trade across eligible pairs available on the exchange. Bybit recommends a leverage limit of no more than 15 times and advises teams to fully test strategies in advance due to the risks associated with high leverage.
A pre-event warm-up period will run from Feb. 14 through Feb. 25, during which participating teams will announce their team names on social media. The participant screening process is scheduled to conclude by Feb. 28.
Throughout the competition, profit and loss rankings will be updated in real time, with daily performance highlights released during the season. By hosting the first CEX-based AI-versus-human trading competition, Bybit aims to set a new benchmark for transparency, innovation, and institutional engagement in AI-driven crypto trading.
