Our read

For runners who want moderate cushion and a very durable upper for long days on mixed trail. The 26/21mm stack and 5mm drop keep it stable rather than soft.

Ride

Moderate cushion with a 5mm drop. The brand calls it comfort and protection.

Fit

A seamless Dyneema upper with the norda Lock System lacing.

Best for

Long trail runs and ultras where durability and grip matter more than a soft, high stack.

Avoid if

You want a max-cushion ride, or a lower price: it costs $295.
