SYLAN 2 Trail Running Shoes: A New Proposal Pursuing Further Lightness and Propulsion

Arc'teryx leads the evolution of outdoor products through technological innovation and products that redefine industry norms. The trail running shoe "SYLAN," first released in the Spring/Summer 2024 collection. Based on athlete feedback, focusing on speed efficiency, pursuing propulsion, high resilience, and lightness, "SYLAN 2" (Sylan 2), which reduces weight by 20g, will be available for sale starting Thursday, March 26th, at brand stores and the official online store.

"SYLAN 2" improves upon previous models with enhanced lightness, stability, hold, and breathability. Designed with the goal of achieving the fastest records in trail races and on specific courses, it is an optimal trail running shoe for runners who prioritize and are particular about speed and efficiency. The rocker-shaped midsole provides high propulsion, supporting the motion from landing to toe-off. The highly resilient special foam that maximizes energy return reduces fatigue, supporting runners' best performance throughout the day while maintaining a high pace on the mountains.

Furthermore, the newly adopted carbon fiber composite plate enhances stability, allowing confident running even on uneven terrain, while the outsole lugs provide optimal traction for trails and flick away excess mud.
