Paramount Max
Paramount Max is a max-cushion road shoe for everyday miles and walking. A thick incrediRUN platform and matching sockliner provide the cushioning, while a broad base, higher sidewalls and segmented midsole shape support smooth transitions. Breathable engineered mesh and a molded heel shape the fit; XT-900 rubber adds durable traction underfoot.
