A confident do-it-all trail shoe for runners who want soft cushioning and secure grip on rocky, mixed terrain without going full max-stack. The standout is its durable Matryx upper paired with a stable Active Chassis.
Soft but protective underfoot thanks to optiFOAM, with the Active Chassis adding guidance and stability on uneven ground. The 8mm drop and 34/26mm stack keep it grounded rather than plush.
Regular width with an internal endoFit sleeve for a snug, precise hold, secured by the one-pull quickLace system. Best for medium-volume feet.
Runners tackling rocky, technical, and mixed trails who want cushioning without sacrificing security and durability.
You want a firm, responsive ride, need a waterproof option, or run in deep mud where deeper lugs would clear better.
