Find out why the Cascadia has been loved by trail runners for years.

The latest updates include enhanced all-terrain stability, improved traction, and lightweight cushioning - all designed to keep you comfortable mile after mountainous mile.
Protective Mesh Upper
A protective mesh upper has been developed to provide breathable comfort. The perforations within the fabric allow cool air to flow throughout the construction whilst, at the same time allowing hot humid air to escape so you can remain cool, dry and comfortable at all times. The mesh creates a perfect microclimate for your feet to thrive in so you can go further for longer in complete comfort. A durable mudguard works to protect the feet against trail debris and works alongside the protective toe cap which offers protection from rocks and uneven surfaces so you can continue with complete comfort and confidence. The ariaprene tongue sits comfortably against the skin to reduce chafing and irritation while the traditional lacing system locks the midfoot for a secure fit and feel. Completing the upper is an integrated gaiter connect point which allows you to attach a gaiter for added protection.
DNA Loft v2 Midsole
The DNA Loft v2 is a cushioning technology that is soft and comfortable. It carries the footwell and even moulds itself to the shape of your foot, allowing the platform to support the curvature of the underfoot fully. The new DNA Loft v2 midsole is a cushioning technology that is soft and comfortable. It carries the footwell and even moulds itself to the shape of the underfoot, allowing the platform to support the curvature of the underfoot fully. Having cushioning and support helps to lessen the impact placed upon your joints as well as absorbing shock, minimising the potential risk of injury or discomfort. This updated cushioning is 5% softer and 20% lighter than previous versions with an extra 2mm of cushioning for additional softness. Drainage ports allow water to escape quickly so that nothing weighs you down and more release grooves in the midsole promote extra adaptability on rough terrains.
TrailTack Green Rubber Outsole
Constructed using 25% recycled materials, the TrailTack Green rubber outsole and high surface-area lugs provide outstanding grip and traction, even on slippery surfaces. Ensuring multi-directional grip, the outsole provides traction on varied terrain ensuring confident footing on any run. The durable rubber provides a strong grip on the most challenging terrain; it works to protect itself from damage and protect users from losing control and slipping. The durable, resilient non-skid rubber delivers optimal grip and traction, ideal for technical trails where unpredictable terrain is highly prevalent.
