Craft Nordlite Ultra 2 Running Shoe - Men's Shock/Grey, 9.5

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: “I love this shoe for mixed-surface runs. The Cr Foam midsole has that perfect blend of rebound and stability, so it feels fast without losing comfort deep into long efforts. The HyperGrip outsole bites well on dirt paths but stays smooth and efficient on pavement. It’s an ideal choice when I don’t know exactly where the route will take me.” We’re big fans of how the Craft Nordlite Ultra 2 Running Shoe bridges the gap between road efficiency and light-trail confidence. Built on an improved last for more reliable fit, it offers that secure yet comfortable feel we look for on long training days. The Cr Foam™ midsole delivers energetic rebound and stable cushioning, keeping our stride smooth whether we’re cruising neighborhood loops or stretching miles onto gravel tracks. The woven mesh upper—constructed with TPU and recycled fibers—adds breathable support that adapts to foot movement without weighing things down. Underfoot, the HyperGrip outsole provides trustworthy traction across mixed terrain, giving us freedom to explore without switching shoes. With a tall stack height and an efficient 6mm drop, this hybrid trainer is made for runners who push distance, mix surfaces, and demand comfort all the way to the last mile.
