NEW ARRIVALS
BAREFOOT
The benefits of running barefoot have long been supported by scientific research, coaches, and athletes who’ve offered ample evidence that training without shoes allows you to run faster and further with fewer injuries. Motion studies demonstrate that when running barefoot, one naturally lands on the forefoot, directly below your center of gravity. This results in optimum balance, increased stability, less impact, and greater propulsion; plus it delivers sensory feedback that allows runners to make immediate corrections in their form. When used with a specific training regime, the Vibram FiveFingers may help strengthen feet and lower legs as they combine the sensation of barefoot running with the protection and sure-footed grip of a Vibram sole.
VIBRAM FIVEFINGERS
NEUTRAL
The GEL-Nimbus 10 provides the ultimate cushioned ride for the neutral to under-pronating runner. This shoe delivers exceptional shock attenuation by combining the extra-large rearfoot silicone gel pad and forefoot “twistgel” with the SoLyte midsole and Solyte 45 lasting. In the midfoot, the Space Trusstic Device is used for added support and stability. The upper’s asymmetrical lacing design enhances the Biomorphic Fit by conforming to the bony architecture of the foot; and combines with the memory foam heel-counter to create unparalleled fit and feel.
The Nike + Air Pegasus 25 is a cushioned yet lightweight performance shoe designed for the neutral to under-pronating runner. The light and breathable mesh upper with 360 degree supportive overlays provide an exceptional fit. A decoupled heel crash pad and the full-length Air Unit embedded in a midsole with a soft PU layer ensures extra longevity and comfort for the ultimate ride.
The Defyance festures the same glove-like fit, famous feel, and smooth heel-to-toe transition of the extremely popular Brooks Adrenaline GTS. What’s different here is that the Defyance is engineered specifically for the biomechanically efficient neutral runner. HydroFlow dynamic viscous fluid units in the heel and forefoot soak up shock and the full-length MoGo midsole gives you a soft, cushy, yet durable ride.
The Nike Air Zoom Vomero+ 3 offers cushioning, comfort, and a smooth heel to toe transition. A breathable mesh upper with stretch panels provide midfoot support. The decoupled rearfoot Crash Pad adds a smooth landing; while the Cushlon midsole with Zoom Air units in the heel and forefoot result in serious shock absorption. The result: an extremely plush and cushioned ride.
STABILITY
The ProGrid Omni 7 Moderate and ProGrid Omni 7 Ultimate are both designed for the runner seeking additional stability. They both feature a breathable mesh upper with an HRC strobel board for step-in comfort. The SRC impact zone and SRC Xtra forefoot cushioning ensure a smooth stride and the Heel ProGrid cushion absorbs impact, dissipates shock, and sets the foot up for a smooth transition. The carbon rubber outsole offers abrasion-resistance and exceptional traction. Differences: The Omni 7 Moderate offers a dual-density midsole which is ideal for moderate pronation. The Omni 7 Ultimate utilizes a Triple density midsole to handle varying degrees of pronation; from moderate to excessive.
The 859 combines a compression resistant ACTEVA midsole and ABZORB SBS cushioning with an extensive dual density medial post. This combination provides plenty of support for moderate to severe overpronation without sacrificing shock absorption. For increased support and stability, the 859 uses an Extended STABILITY WEB, which is a structured lightweight arch support that provides optimal rigidity; preventing midfoot flex. Additionally, the N-DURANCE rubber compound outsole gives maximum durability in high-wear areas.
MOTION CONTROL
Gel Evolution 4 is a motion control shoe designed to provide maximum support; utilizing the DuoMax midfoot support system in combination with an extra-wide platform for added stability. The Biomorphic Fit upper provides a superior fit and feel; the Solyte midsole provides improved cushioning and durability; and the Impact Guidance System (I.G.S.) features linked componentry that enhances the foot’s natural gait from heel-strike to toe-off.
The Brooks Addiction 8 continues in the tradition of catering to the excessive over-pronator who requires a combination of cushioning and reinforced medial stability. The shoe’s wide Linear Platform and Progressive Diagonal Rollbar provides sturdy support mile after mile; by supporting low arches and keeping pronation under control. The full-length MoGo midsole, heel and forefoot Hydroflow, and S-257 strobel board all work together to provide a soft, cushy, and smooth ride - from heel impact to toe-off. Like it’s predecessors, the Addiction 8 delivers the perfect blend of support and performance.
The 1011 is a premium motion control shoe for the runner who requires maximum pronation stability and a high level of cushioning. This is a very “run-able” update to last year’s 1010 and features an improved forefoot flex, thanks to an updated flex-groove pattern that runs all the way across the width of the shoe; softer heel cushioning; better midfoot support; and ergonomic ankle collar padding. A nice blend of cushion, comfort, and support for those big-time overpronators out there.
The Gel-Foundation 8 blends maximum stability with flexibility to make this a motion control shoe that is actually fun to run in. A redesigned upper and snug fitting heel combines with DuoMax midfoot support and GEL heel & forefoot cushioning for optimal fit and enhanced stability & shock absorption.
TRAIL/OFF-ROAD
This lightweight trail shoe was built to handle almost any terrain. The full-length Phylon midsole wraps around the perimeter of the shoe and cradles the foot, offering the perfect blend of cushioning, stability and support. The midsole also features a Nike Zoom Air unit for cushioning and comfort; and a nylon stonesheild to provide forefoot protection. The breathable mesh upper has a fully gusseted tongue to help keep out trail debris. A super aggressive outsole with BRS 1000 rubber in the heel and a sticky rubber waffle forefoot combine to provide excellent traction.
The aggressive Saucony Xodus offers a premium ride on the most uneven of trail surfaces. The upper features a durable and breathable ripstop textile; and the Vibram rubber outsole provides exceptional traction and grip. The rearfoot SRC impact zone and HRC forefoot cushioning result in excellent shock attenuation; while the SSL EVA midsole maximizes rebound and minimizes weight. The Heel ProGrid cushioning absorbs impact, dissipates shock, and sets the foot up for a smooth transition.
This technical trail shoe showcases the following features; Abzorb full-length cushioning and Abzorb strobel board for exceptional shock absorption; NLock integrated lacing/webbing system provides optimal fit and support; Rock Stop protects feet from rocks and debris and improves heel to toe transition; Toe Protect shields the toes from impact with stones, roots, and other obstacles; gusseted tongue keeps debris out of the shoe; Ndurance outsole for durability in high wear areas; Lightning Dry lining keeps feet dry and comfortable.
The Fire Road Boa Trail puts together elements of a road shoe, such as flex and responsiveness, with the control and stability you find in a trail shoe. A heel pad cushions and reduces overpronation while the forefoot Snake Plate protects your foot from stone bruising. The full-contact, lugged outsole, provides stability and a seamless transition as you move over rocky and muddy terrain. The Fire Road also features the unique and innovative Boa lacing system for on-the-fly custom fit adjustability.
