Most trail runs start on pavement. Getting from a front door to anything resembling a trail usually means a mile or two of road, and then a surface that alternates between packed dirt, gravel and grass rather than the technical rock a proper mountain shoe is built for. That gap produced a whole category: road shoes given trail treatment, with a mildly lugged outsole and a tougher upper over a platform still tuned for tarmac. This is one of them, the trail version of an entry-level support trainer, priced five dollars above the road model for the extra rubber. It arrived as part of a make-up ASICS ran across several models at once, so the same palette appeared on shoes with nothing else in common. Papaya is the warm note in it.
