Spread your wings and see what nature brings in the Peg Trail 5. Now equipped with an ultra-responsive ReactX foam midsole, this shoe is a true dual threat for dirt and concrete. This special design sends you to the South Kaibab Trail in the Grand Canyon, as part of our ongoing #IYKYK series.

An inscription of one the trail??s gnarly switchbacks heading down to the Canyon is hand-drawn on the tongue tops. The sockliners are detailed with some of the South Kaibab??s more memorable trail markers and the ever-present mules. Keep your eyes peeled for upper graphics that nod to the desert??s prickly plants.

The speckled midsole is inspired by the route??s red dirt. The pops of purple speak to the trail??s super-bright cacti while the blues pay homage to the lake that once was.

ReactX foam midsole is 13% more responsive than previous React technology. Crafted for performance and planet, ReactX foam is engineered to reduce its carbon footprint by at least 43% in a pair of midsoles due to reduced manufacturing process energy compared to prior React foam. The carbon footprint of ReactX is based on cradle-to-gate assessment reviewed by PR?? Sustainability B.V and Intertek China. Other midsole components such as airbags, plates or other foam formulations were not considered.

We placed mesh with tighter woven fabric in high-wear areas, like the toes. Mesh combines with open holes on the upper for breathability.

Less rubber along the outsole compared to the previous iteration creates a smooth transition from road to trail while preserving the full-length ReactX midsole. A generative traction pattern combined with rubber in the forefoot provides extra grip for technical trails while maintaining a smooth ride for the road.

Flywire technology integrates with the laces to help secure your midfoot.
