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

Arc'teryx continues to lead the evolution of outdoor products through technical innovations and designs that redefine industry standards. Following the debut of the 'SYLAN' trail running shoe in the Spring/Summer 2024 collection, the brand is proud to announce the 'SYLAN 2'. Based on athlete feedback, this model focuses on speed efficiency, propulsion, high resilience, and weight reduction—shedding 20g from its predecessor. It will be available starting Thursday, March 26, at brand stores and the official online store.

The 'SYLAN 2' offers improved lightness, stability, hold, and breathability. Designed for runners who prioritize speed and efficiency, it is ideal for those aiming to set personal records in trail races or on specific courses. The rocker-shaped midsole provides high propulsion, supporting the transition from landing to toe-off. A highly resilient, specialized foam maximizes energy return to reduce fatigue, helping runners maintain a high pace all day and achieve their peak performance.

Furthermore, the introduction of a new carbon fiber composite plate enhances stability, allowing for confident movement on uneven terrain, while the outsole lugs provide optimal traction and shed excess mud.

Key Features

A specially shaped jacquard knit using an ultra-lightweight blend of nylon, TPU, and TPE achieves both weight reduction and increased strength. Added TPU film enhances durability and protection. It retains the same knit collar structure as the original Sylan, while an updated flat-knit tongue provides secure support, improved breathability, and enhanced comfort and performance.
