The Brooks Cascadia 18 is designed to boost your confidence with a protective and inherently stable platform that adapts to any trail. The moderately cushioned midsole of trusty DNA LOFT v2 foam ensures underfoot protection while the Ballistic Rock Shield guards your soles from sharp rocks without sacrificing flexibility. The TrailTack Green rubber outsole enhances traction on both wet and dry surfaces and is made from 25% recycled materials. Capping it off the updated mesh upper includes overlays in high-wear areas ensuring a durable and breathable finish.
