W’s Cascadia 5 (top) M’s Cascadia 5 (bottom) - $100
Embrace your adventurous side with the new Cascadia 5. All the extra toughness and protection of an off-road shoe meet the makings of a superior running shoe for industry-leading results. While its full-length BioMogo midsole is gentler on the earth, you’re free to tear up any terrain. Weight: 12.0 oz.
Brooks Running has been making feet happy since 1914. The yet the past eight years have been the happiest as the company establishes itself at the core of the running world with new technology and a growing commitment to enviro-sustainability. Most importantly, Brooks has developed “run-ability” into every shoe they build.Brooks CEO, Jim Weber, reinforces this point in the February ‘09 issue of Sport Goods Business magazine when he states, “We treaded the shoe like a piece of equipment. We were going to bake ‘run-ability’ into every shoe we built.”
M’s & W’s Adrenaline ASR 6 - $105
The Cascadia 5 and the Adrenaline ASR 6 are two models that prove his point. The alchemy behind the Cascadia is the blend of cushioning, traction and support which helps you navigate a wide range of trail surfaces. And now, thanks to Brooks commitment to sustainability, the environmental friendly BioMoGo midsole will biodegrade 50 times faster than a standard midsole. These are the shoes of choice for the Umstead Trail Marathon.
The Adrenaline ASR 6 is the choice for runners who train in hybrid conditions – some road, some trail. The ride is similar to their best selling Adrenaline GTS but the more rugged outsole runs well on a wide range of surface. Water resistant upper keeps the foot dry in inclement conditions.
So come by the shop and test drive a pair for yourself. We guarantee they’ll make you and your feet happy!
