How do you improve on the award-winning Trance™ 7? You pack the Trance™ 8 with the same top-of-the-line technologies that made its predecessor an award winner and make it more environmentally friendly. Then, you tweak the design to look sophisticated and clean. The result? Tons of cush wrapped in a pristine, new, green package.

Technically Speaking:

MIDSOLE:

HYDROFLOW – Dynamic viscous ﬂuid units for heel & forefoot enhance midsole cushioning—attenuating shock with industry leading dampening and comfort.

DIAGONAL ROLLBAR (DRB) – A high-density post at the medial arch is engineered for pronation control and creates a smoother transition from the midstance phase into the propulsion phase.

BIOMOGO – We’ve taken the long-lasting cushioning of our MoGo midsole and made it environmentally friendly. How, you ask? By adding a non-toxic, natural additive to the MoGo compound that encourages anaerobic microbes to munch away once it hits the landﬁll.

DRB ACCEL – Enhances tunable torsion of the midfoot. Shank-like thermoplastic devices vary from single units of a set modulus, to dual-unit versions of varied modulus (tuned with higher stiffness for medial support, the lateral side less stiff to smooth the ride).

OUTSOLE:

HPR PLUS – A higher durability, abrasion-resistant rubber outsole compound that wears longer.

ENGINEERED STABLE POD CONFIGURATION –Midsole and outsole components are engineered to set the foot up in an efﬁcient, balanced position from heel strike to toe-off, offering maximum stability and responsiveness.

UPPER:

ELEMENT–Upper technology featuring superior microﬁber construction to provide weather protection in a light, supple, quiet fabric that doesn’t sacriﬁce breathability, durability, or comfort.
