ST-6
ST-6 is a minimalist road shoe for daily runs with a close-to-barefoot feel. A low ZipFoam midsole balances modest cushioning and protection on a zero-drop platform. Breathable recycled mesh pairs a roomy forefoot with secure midfoot and heel hold, with a lace-lock system to adjust tension. A thin rubber outsole supplies traction, and the collapsible heel counter packs flat for travel.
