A soft, smooth intro to performance running shoes, the Trace 2 features a new engineered air-mesh upper for more breathability while a 3D Fit Print provides extra structure.
Engineered air-mesh offers a performance fit that allows airflow on your run. The new material used in the upper wraps around your foot for enhanced comfort as well as expanding with the foot to improve performance and flexibility, and ensure a full, unrestricted range of motion. Engineered air-mesh offers more breathability than previous models and promotes efficient moisture management by actively and efficiently wicking away the build-up of excess sweat and moisture to leave you feeling cool, dry and comfortable as you strive for the best results and performance. Additionally, cool air is encouraged to circulate, creating a drier, healthier environment for your feet to thrive. A padded tongue sits comfortably against the skin and guards against friction as well as irritation such as chafing. The traditional lacing system offers a secure, locked-in feel while you run.
Lightweight BioMoGo DNA cushioning adapts to your speed, stride and weight to help deflect impact away from your body. It carries the footwell and even moulds itself to the shape of the underfoot, allowing the platform to fully support the curvature of the underfoot. This midsole technology offers a lightweight feel, excellent energy return, and comfortable cushioning – paving the road to better training sessions and new PRs. Having the cushioning and support helps to lessen the impact placed upon your joints as well as attenuating shock, minimising the potential risk of injury or discomfort. A segmented crash pad cushions your landing and creates a seamless heel-to-toe transition.
On the outsole, the rubber is extremely durable and will provide you with anti-abrasion protection. This means that you will be able to run on a wide range of different surfaces without worrying about the shape and definition of the outsole being damaged. The rubber is able to form a solid connection with the ground, which will keep you in firm control with a strong grip and traction.
