Street-approved. Trail tested. Built at the intersection of road and trail, the new Challenger 7 has been completely reimagined from the ground up. Combining a simplified mesh upper with a soft new foam, we've increased the stack height for a plusher feel and added proprietary rubber to the bottom unit, along with a reimagined outsole design for the best all-terrain ride yet. Inspired by gravel tires, we've cued up smaller, tightly spaced lugs in center and larger, more aggressive lugs at the perimeter designed for improved traction on uneven terrain. The Challenger 7 continues to offer a high cushion-to-weight ratio with a lightweight, compression moulded EVA midsole that delivers non-stop comfort and plush underfoot feel. Designed to help each stride feel more comfortable than the last, the compression moulded EVA absorbs impact forces and creates a stable landing so you can run further for longer in comfort and protection, ensuring the wear and tear placed on your joints are kept to a minimum. Although lighter than the last iteration, the Challenger 7 features an increased stack height to offer even more added cushion. When trail running it is imperative to have an assured footing, with difficult, unpredictable terrain often causing obstacles and challenges to your performance. The Challenger 7 boasts a Durabrasion rubber outsole, which delivers an abundance of grip and traction to help fill you with confidence as you take on the trails. Designed for road-focused all-terrain running, the rubber compound extends rubber longevity. 4mm lugs provide traction on a variety of surfaces; strategically placed with an improved lug pattern along the outsole, the 4mm lugs provide a full, unrestricted range of motion in all directions and much-needed flexibility to bolster comfort and performance in equal measures. The updated lug pattern delivers a smoother ride on the road without sacrificing its trail traction, meaning that the Challenger 7 provides stability on a variety of terrain, making it the perfect all-purpose trail shoe.
