Stitched eyelets on the upper and TPU reinforcements wrap around your foot. The nubuck leather upper is wear-resistant. The impressive stone guard saves you from a potential setback when encountering rocky surfaces.

Technologies

Impact Brake System
This innovative system is applied to the sole so that it absorbs negative ground impact, boosts traction on ascents, and improves grip on descents. The unique positioning of the studs allows as many of them as possible to be in contact with the ground, ensuring optimal impact absorption.

EVA injectée
It provides better cushioning and more elasticity during your stride than a molded EVA sole. It maintains its shape over time.
-
Frixion Blue
Durable, flexible, and with a good grip. Ideal for running on asphalt and dirt.
