Speed-up for new best times: The lightweight Alpine DNA 2 Unisex running shoe is your fast companion for middle-distance, technical trail running races. In races, every second counts, so you need a shoe that can properly give you a good boost forward. The Alpine DNA 2 with its unique midsole design scores with outstanding responsiveness and energy return at a minimal weight. At the same time, it offers your foot all the needed stability with its full-length X-shaped Pebax plate so you can easily conquer technically demanding trails and speedy downhills. The Vibram® Megagrip sole with Litebase Technology and grippy 4 mm lugs ensures perfect grip and traction. Whatever the trails are going to give you, run with it! True to the motto, “less is more,” the upper and padding of the Alpine DNA 2 is pared back to a minimum. Nevertheless, you don’t have to forgo protection: A knit collar prevents stones and dirt from getting in while a TPU toe cap protects your toes from impacts. Reduced padding at the heel guarantees a secure fit without adding unneeded weight. A dual quick lacing system prevents slipping about in the shoe and features the best comfort. Alpine DNA 2 – your extra boost for the podium.
