Scarpa Spin Planet Trail Running Shoe - Men's Azure/Black, 42.5

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I put the Spin Planet Running Shoe through a full month of mixed trail and road miles, and the high-volume cushioning held up better than I expected at this weight, staying lively and responsive well into the triple digits on the odometer. Knowing the upper, midsole, and outsole all carry significant recycled content makes it easier to feel good about every mile I put on them.""The trail does not care what your shoes are made of, but you might. The Scarpa Spin Planet Running Shoe is built for runners who want to move fast on technical terrain without leaving a heavier footprint than necessary. The fully recycled mesh and microfiber upper keeps weight low and airflow high across long efforts, while the Axial TR tech tongue wraps the foot cleanly without adding bulk around the midfoot, where you do not want it. Underfoot, a high-volume CM-EVA midsole built with 45% recycled content delivers the kind of cushioning that protects legs across long days on the trail without the dead, sluggish feel that plagues some maximalist shoes. The PRESA TRN-06 outsole handles mixed terrain with enough grip to inspire confidence on rooted and rocky singletrack while staying light enough to let you move at real trail running pace. At just over ten ounces per shoe with a 4mm drop that encourages a natural stride, the Spin Planet is proof that sustainability and performance are not a tradeoff, they are the same goal."
