The GEL-CONTEND™ 9 running shoe provides good neutral cushioning and durability.
An engineered mesh upper stretches with the foot's natural motion and creates a comfortable fit. Meanwhile, the synthetic stitching on the overlays helps create a more supportive foothold.
The midsole features GEL™ technology and AMPLIFOAM+ cushioning. These technologies help increase durability while creating a softer feel underfoot.
Additionally, a TRUSSTIC™ support unit and wrap-up outsole improve stability while allowing your feet to move freely.
