Soft cushioning in the midsole provides a comfortable, springy return so every skip, hop and stride you take is one closer to the finish line. The tread grabs at pavement, grass, and gravel to give you extra grip while a rubber-wrapped toe box toughens up the construction so you can go further in the same pair of Star Runners. Seam on the tongue allows you to widen the opening for easy on and off. Foot slides into the shoe easily with the help of the heel hinge system. Kick them off with confidence: Heel color coordinates with toe for color-coded touch points. Tough as a snake: synthetic toe skin adds durability to every step. Vertical mesh upper helps keep you cool.
