The trail shoe that adapts to your runs
After a successful launch of our first trail shoe, we got to work on the next model to complete our range. The result: the new 864 DROP EVOLUTION — a lightweight, technical shoe that adapts to your runs and the terrain you train on.
A concept developed in partnership with athletes and professionals.
We are always striving for excellence — and to support that commitment, we have surrounded ourselves with renowned trail athletes, sports medicine professionals and an innovation consultancy who guided us throughout the product's development.
The innovative adjustable drop concept that made our first shoe a success has been carried over and improved in a lighter, higher-performing shoe with a vibrant, modern look,
combining dynamism, grip, hold and extreme comfort.
The culmination of the brand's R&D efforts, this new model packs in a wealth of technologies that boost athlete comfort and performance: a more flexible midsole platform featuring CHROMOSOME® technology, R-SPEED® cushioning & R-FOAM® technology for optimal ground-impact absorption, breathable R-MESH® knit, a wraparound inner tongue for enhanced hold, and MEGAGRIP VIBRAM® outsoles for all-terrain grip and certified durability.
The shoe that adapts to your outings
Whether adapting to the terrain you're running on, the distance covered or your stride, the adjustable drop concept lets you choose the configuration that suits you best and fits your run perfectly.

Find your ideal drop for any outing — using the same shoe — or take advantage of our coaching programme to gradually adjust your stride towards a more natural, less injury-prone gait.
