Defyance Max
The Defyance Max is a high-cushion road shoe for daily runs, walking, orthotics, and everyday wear. Nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v2 softens underfoot pressure, while the 6 mm offset and GlideRoll Rocker assist movement from landing to toe-off. Its breathable mesh upper adds structure and holds the foot securely, with recycled materials making up 61.4% of the upper by weight.
