In a world of increasingly optimized and specialized running shoes, the appearance of a pair of running sandals seems paradoxical. But in Vietnam, a domestic brand has successfully developed the first running sandals with integrated full carbon panels, opening a new direction for the domestic sports industry. That product is GOYA Photon.
The biggest difference of Photon lies in the core with a full-length carbon plate running through the sole of the foot to increase propulsion, optimize stability and limit energy consumption on long runs.

Simple design - Superior performance
Without the need for a thick upper or a complicated structure, GOYA Photon maintains the philosophy of “less is more”. With a total weight of only about 205g (size 42), the sandals bring a light, soft feeling, good bounce on many types of terrain. The midsole uses high-elasticity Eva SkyBoune™ foam, combined with a multi-layered outsole to increase grip while still ensuring breathability for hot and humid weather.
The 6mm drop structure is calculated to maintain a natural running rhythm, reduce pressure on the ankle and support the athlete to maintain a stable running form.
What makes GOYA Photon stand out is not only its technology but also its provenance. From concept, design, testing to production, everything is done by a team of Vietnamese engineers, athletes and developers. GOYA does not put a domestic label on an assembled product, but develops it itself from the first test runs to the final builds.
Every detail of Photon reflects an understanding of the terrain, physical condition, habits and practical needs of Vietnamese athletes, something that an imported product can hardly copy.
From the lab to the track
GOYA Photon is more than just a beautiful idea. In internal testing sessions, athletes have noted a clear return of energy, a level of comfort that is not inferior to full carbon shoes, and most importantly, a cool, breathable feeling - something that closed-toe shoes cannot provide in hot conditions.
Recently, an international athlete chose this very pair of sandals to compete and finish first in a major national race. That partly proves that GOYA Photon is not only a technological breakthrough but also a product capable of accompanying breakthrough runs.

“GOYA Photon is proof that creativity is not limited by stereotypes,” said a GOYA Photon representative. “In a world where running shoes have become commonplace, GOYA chose to create something new: a pair of sandals that can stand on par with performance, and surpass it in personality, simplicity, and commitment.”
