A run in the Brooks Cascadia 2™ running shoe is a freeing experience. Water-resistant microfiber suede comfortably wraps the foot, adding midfoot support for a glove-like fit. Highly breathable Element™ Air Mesh upper provides excellent ventilation and moisture management. Full-length S-257™ midsole offers unsurpassed cushioning and durability. Heel and forefoot HydroFlow® units absorb shock, stabilize the foot and return energy to the foot stride after stride. Independent Pivot™ Posts, positioned medially and laterally, minimize ground surface area for better adaptation to destabilizing trail irregularities. Crumple Zone configuration allows for compression upon impact, smoothing out the heel strike and promoting a more natural and efficient gait. Highly durable HPR Green™ outsole enhances traction, offers a softer, smoother ride and is more environmentally friendly. Ballistic Rock Shield™, positioned between the outsole and midsole, disperses point-load pressure from rocks and keeps a flexible forefoot for a terrain-compliant ride. Wt. 12.7 oz.
