Find out why the Brooks Cascadia has been loved by trail runners for years. The new Cascadia 17 continues the tradition of a premier mountain trail-running shoe, providing stability, soft cushioning, and protection from the elements. The latest updates include enhanced all-terrain stability, improved traction, and lightweight cushioning all designed to keep you comfortable mile after mountainous mile. All-terrain stability Brooks' new Trail Adapt System helps give runners better stability by combining three elements: Soft, lightweight DNA LOFT v2 cushioning that responds to both you and the trail surface. A protective plate inside that also helps the shoe adapt to varied terrain. Strategically placed outsole pods respond to uneven ground. Enhanced traction TrailTack Green Rubber outsole is made of 25% recycled content and provides the traction you need to traverse slippery ground, rocky crags, or anything else on the trail. Soft cushioning DNA LOFT v2 provides soft cushioning for long-lasting comfort, even on tough terrain. Super soft, but never too squishy, Brooks' cushioning technologies all start with 'DNA' because they react to your unique stride.
