New Balance Minimus Men's Trail Running Shoes
Made for explosiveness and agility on the trail, the New Balance Minimus' are built to complement natural movement - like barefoot, but better.
Textile Upper
Offering great breathability alongside durability the upper of the Minumus is designed to keep you feeling fresh in the long run. Strategically placed perforations within the material allows for optimal ventilation around the foot. Warm air is able to escape effectively, making room for fresh, cool air. This material is also highly durable, designed to last and protect the feet from possible snags and bumps on unknown paths. Atop the material sits overlays, designed to protect your toes from injury. A stretchy heel tab has been implemented so you can easily slip these on and get up and out with zero hassle. A tongue loop has been added so laced can be tucked out of the way for zero distraction, while a traditional lacing system completes the upper, this effectively locks down the midfoot for a secure and snug fit.
FuelCell Midsole
Providing comfort whilst still giving you that grounded feel, the Minimus features two thin layers of FuelCell foam. The foam within the heel stays plush to provide you with comfort upon impact against hard surfaces, giving you a slight boost due to its springy components. A second layer of foam sits within the forefoot, this is firmer for better balance on uneven terrain. This midsole allows for the natural flex within the foot, helping you roll through the gait cycle still motivated on the trail ahead.
AT Tread Outsole
Ensuring versatile traction, the AT Tread outsole keeps you sure on your feet both on and off-road. The rubber is highly durable, meaning the lifespan of the shoes is long, keeping you up and pushing forwards. Arrow-shaped lugs feature along both the heel and forefoot, optimised for toe-offs and directional control, while miniature lugs sit within the midfoot section to provide extra surface contact, covering all grounds.
