Torrent 4
Torrent 4 increases cushion, stability and durability over Torrent 3. A revised EVA midsole adds a softer, bouncier ride and more stack, while a rearfoot Active Foot Frame secures the foot. Early Stage MetaRocker smooths transitions, and rearranged 5mm lugs in high-abrasion rubber improve grip on uneven terrain. Single-layer mesh, a support cage and gusseted tongue add breathable hold and debris protection.
