Versarien announced that, following a collaboration with Flux Footwear LLC ("Flux"), the Company will be supplying graphene enhanced elastomers to Flux to bring an improved model of Flux's 'Adapt' shoe, the 'AdaptMid', to market. Under the terms of the partnership, the 'Adapt' barefoot athleisure model has been enhanced with Versarien's Graphene-Wear™ technology, following research and testing to improve the rubber outsole, augmenting the shoe's mechanical and physical properties. The new model, the 'AdaptMid', provides greater durability through improved abrasion resistance whilst maintaining the shoe's traction characteristics.

This technology has been developed by the Company's in-house technology teams at University of Manchester and University of Cambridge as part of the GSCALE project and has the potential for multiple elastomer projects.
