DSC, a global leader in performance foam manufacturing, is sponsoring the 17th annual Portland Track Festival. As part of its ongoing commitment to athlete-led innovation, DSC will provide high-performance insoles to athletes at the premiere two-day event.

“This year marks 80 years of innovation at DSC, and we are honored to support the Portland Track Festival once again,” said Johnson Chang, CEO of DSC. “Our mission has always been to design products that meet athletes’ highest performance demands. With our ultra-high performance Dreamcell and Durapontex insoles, we’re proud to help athletes power through the finish line—and beyond.”

At the festival, DSC will provide athletes with Dreamcell PX23 and Durapontex eN25—two of the DSC’s most advanced materials designed to maximize performance, energy return and comfort.

Dreamcell PX23 insole is a high-performance insole material under the popular Dreamcell brand. Engineered with advanced, high resilience open-cell PU foam, it delivers an unparalleled 50% performance rebound, superior breathability and long-lasting comfort—supporting athletes through every stride of their journey.

Durapontex eN25 is a next generation, ultra performance closed-cell foam material developed using DSC’s proprietary supercritical fluid foaming technology. Engineered specifically for high-impact, jump-dominant sports, it delivers exceptional durability and ultra-lightweight performance. With 65% resiliency, Durapontex eN25 offers unmatched rebound to support athletes in achieving peak performance. DSC was the first brand to utilize supercritical foaming technology in the development of an insole at scale with its Durapontex N-Series.

“We appreciate DSC continuing to support the Portland Track Festival and their commitment to engage with local athletes,” said Michael Bergmann, board member and spokesperson of the Portland Track Festival. “These world-class middle and long-distance athletes offer invaluable feedback that helps DSC refine and elevate its performance products.”
