Fibrillated textile surfaces enhance durability without weight penalty

Features

• Double Jacquard Mesh Upper. Engineered for breathable structure and a flexible fit, this dual-layer mesh enhances durability while offering targeted ventilation to keep feet cool on daily runs.

• Stabilizing H-Frame? Technology. An integrated support frame that wraps the midfoot, providing added stability and lockdown without restricting natural movement??ideal for neutral runners needing subtle guidance.
