The Hydra ESC is the pinnacle swimrun and trail trainer, built to thrive in the aquatic biome in harmony with nature. It's a pioneering take on amphibious barefootwear, created alongside elite athletes to glide underwater, grip on land, and drain and dry quickly.
The upper of the shoe is crafted from an ultra-lightweight mesh that won't hold you back. It provides efficient drainage and keeps out sediment and debris, while water-resistant materials ensure the shoe doesn't absorb water, keeping it light and comfortable. Hydrodynamic, quick-lock lacing allows easy on-the-move adjustments and locks in the fit, and the heel pull tab makes on/off easy. The footshape fit allows toes to splay for a more natural and comfortable feel when running.
RISE Bloom Foam is made using the sustainable alternative to synthetic and petrochemical EVA foam, derived from algae biomass. This algae can damage our oceans, so harnessing it in footwear helps clean up the environment. This insole provides gentle cushioning underfoot whilst preserving flex and minimalism for greater ground feel, natural underfoot flexion and sensory feedback.
The high-vis Michelin outsole offers all-terrain traction; it bites into the earth and sand to help you move with confidence. The rubber is sticky and durable, providing great support, grip and peace of mind on tough terrain (including slippery ones). The 4mm multi-directional lugs let you brake and change direction with control, making it ideal for any swimrun adventure.
