Brooks Men's Cascadia 18

$170.00

Our Take 

The Brooks Cascadia has been loved by trail runners for years so we are happy to see only small tweaks to the upper to make the shoe more durable in high wear areas.  However, we also love that Brooks is commited to making the Cascadia as environmentally friendly as the terrain it is means to run in.

Last year Brooks introduced the Trail Adapt System which uses an integrated midsole, rock plate, and zonal outsole pods to offer enhanced control and a stable ride over any terrain.  Enhanced traction draws from the anatomy of mountain goat hooves; the forefoot outsole is split to better grip uneven surfaces while zonal pods enhance control. 

The Brooks Cascadia hits a trail running sweet spot in that the shoe is capable of going long yet feels nimble even on the roughest terrain.
