TrailRelease 2022-09-01JP

Olympus 5 is a max-cushion trail model for ultra-distance and all-day outings. Its 33 mm, zero-drop platform pairs compression-molded EVA with Vibram Megagrip for cushioning, traction, and stability on technical terrain. The fifth version refines the heel collar, sidewalls, and outsole layout; engineered mesh and Original FootShape Fit balance lockdown, breathability, and toe room for long runs or hikes.
