The Cascadia 16 GTX, a descendant of the original Cascadia line, emerged in October 2021. Its roots are firmly planted in the legacy of trail running, a sport demanding resilience and innovation. This model represents a continuous evolution, built upon the foundation of its predecessors and the collaborative efforts of Brooks and trail running pioneers.
Engineered for the rigors of trail running and hiking, the Cascadia 16 GTX excels in various terrains, including rocky paths and muddy conditions. Its design prioritizes all-terrain stability and protection, with features like a Ballistic Rock Shield and a TrailTack rubber outsole. The inclusion of a GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit membrane ensures waterproof protection, making it ideal for wet weather conditions.
The Cascadia line is synonymous with trail running, a testament to its enduring design. Trail-running legend Scott Jurek, played a key role in the early development of the Cascadia, solidifying its place in the sport's history. These shoes have become a staple for those who embrace the challenges of the outdoors. The Cascadia 16 GTX continues this tradition, inspiring confidence and performance on every trail.
This iteration features a GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit membrane bonded directly to an engineered mesh upper. The design incorporates synthetic overlays, an embossed mudguard, and a padded heel collar for enhanced protection and comfort. The midsole utilizes DNA LOFT v2, a blend of EVA, rubber, and air, providing superior cushioning and responsiveness, while the outsole employs TrailTack rubber with multidirectional lugs.
