Superior 7
Superior 7 is a low-stack trail model built on a 21 mm zero-drop platform to preserve underfoot feel. New tooling increases flexibility, while revised MaxTrac lug shapes and placement balance that movement with trail grip. Compression Molded EVA, a mesh upper, a redesigned tongue, and ghillie lacing work with the Standard FootShape fit to give the forefoot room while securing the midfoot.
