The Rundown!
Road-tested. Trail tested.

Perfect compromise between a road model and a trail model, the new Challenger 7 has been redesigned from the ground up. Combining a simplified mesh upper with a new, soft one foam, we increased the height of the sole for a more comfortable feel of softness and added patented rubber to the lower unit, together with a sole with a revisited design for a user experience on all terrains like never before. Inspired by gravel tyres, we have designed a tank with more elements small and less spaced in the center and larger and more aggressive along the perimeter, to improve traction on terrain irregular.

What's new?
Lighter than the last version, it offers greater height sole and new materials on the upper, midsole and outsole.
