Explore the new Trail Shoe 864 Drop Evolution

25 Jun. 2020

The trail shoe that adapts to your races

After a successful launch of our first trail shoe, we got to work on the next model to complete our range. That's how we created the new 864 DROP EVOLUTION — a lightweight, technical shoe that adapts to your races and your training terrain.

A concept developed in partnership with athletes and professionals

We are always striving for excellence. To support us in this pursuit, we have surrounded ourselves with recognised trail athletes, sports medicine professionals and an innovation consultancy who accompanied us throughout the product development. The innovative adaptable drop concept that made our first shoe a success has been carried over and improved in a lighter, higher-performing shoe with a colourful, modern look, combining dynamism, grip, support and extreme comfort. The culmination of the brand's R&D efforts, this new model is a concentration of technologies contributing to athlete comfort and performance. A more flexible intermediate platform featuring CHROMOSOME® technology, R-SPEED® cushioning & R-FOAM® technology for optimal ground impact absorption, breathable R-MESH® knit, a wraparound internal tongue for enhanced support, and MEGAGRIP VIBRAM® outsoles for all-terrain grip and certified durability.

The shoe that adapts to your outings

Whether it's to adapt to the terrain you're running on, the distance covered or your stride, the adaptable drop concept lets you choose the configuration that suits you best and fits your race. Trail shoe Find the ideal drop for any outing while keeping the same shoe, or take advantage of our coaching programme to gradually modify your stride and transition to a more natural, less damaging foot strike.
