The rubber outsole is mapped for traction and longevity across varied training surfaces.
Styling
Lean into the all-black versatility by pairing these with tapered technical joggers and a fitted compression tee for a streamlined training-ready look. Off the track, style them with black selvedge denim, a clean white oversized tee, and a structured bomber jacket for a refined streetwear aesthetic that lets the silhouette speak for itself.
