The ASICS GEL-TRABUCO 14 Men’s Trail Running Shoes
Tackle rugged trails with confidence in the ASICS GEL-Trabuco 14. Built for unpredictable off-road terrain, these trail running shoes combine grip, cushioning, and support so you can push further without compromise.
The ASICSGRIP outsole gives advanced traction on wet, loose, or uneven surfaces, helping you stay steady on tricky trails. At around 4 grams lighter than the previous model, the Trabuco 14 features an extra 2mm of FF BLAST MAX cushioning, giving cloud-like softness underfoot while delivering responsive energy return at toe-off.
A new trail-specific fit locks the midfoot in place, reducing internal movement while a wider forefoot adds comfort over long runs. The engineered mesh upper keeps the shoe lightweight and breathable, minimising the need for extra overlays.
Practical details like the elastic lace band let you tuck laces safely out of the way, and the flexible rock protection plate shields your foot from sharp stones or uneven surfaces.
