Ride 18
Ride 18 updates the Ride 17 formula with reformulated PWRRUN+, a redesigned upper and revised outsole coverage. Increased foam content and a lighter overall shoe support cushioned, responsive daily mileage. Enhanced forefoot rubber and flex grooves add durability, grip and smooth movement, while engineered mesh brings more breathability and stretch and extra heel-collar padding improves the hold.
