Overview

Redesigned from top to bottom, the Stinson 8 is tuned for a more stable ride that still feels super plush. This versatile road-to-trail runner adds a softer foam beneath an updated H-Frame™ midsole for just-right cushioning with locked-in stability through the gait cycle. A new upper with a supportive cage overlay enhances breathability, and the updated lug design and orientation is honed for all-terrain traction. The lightest Stinson yet, it evolves stability and maximal cushioning for the trail.
