ASICS TRABUCO MAX 5 Men's Trail Running Shoes - Advanced Grip and Comfort for Technical Trails

The ASICS TRABUCO MAX 5 shoe delivers advanced grip and comfort properties that help you tackle trails with confidence. Engineered for technical terrain, this trail shoe combines aggressive traction with substantial cushioning for demanding off-road adventures.

Superior Trail Traction

ASICSGRIP technology is strategically placed in the outsole to deliver exceptional traction on off-road surfaces. ASICS' proprietary outsole rubber provides advanced grip across varied terrain—from loose gravel to muddy paths and rocky single track.

Cloud-Like Cushioning

FF BLAST PLUS technology in the midsole provides cloud-like cushioning paired with responsive energy return. This midsole foam delivers a blend of soft comfort and a responsive ride that's lighter than standard FF BLAST cushioning, keeping your legs feeling fresher on extended trail efforts.

Lighter and More Efficient

The TRABUCO MAX 5 is approximately 13 grams lighter than the previous version. GUIDESOLE technology features a curved sole design that helps reduce ankle flexion and absorb shock, enabling you to run easier and longer across challenging terrain.

Weather-Resistant Construction

The engineered mesh upper incorporates water-repellent processing that helps reduce water absorption. This keeps you more comfortable in wet conditions—whether you're crossing streams, running through rain, or navigating morning dew on trails.

Enhanced Underfoot Comfort

An EVA sockliner provides cushioning performance and moisture management, creating a cooler, drier environment inside the shoe during demanding trail runs.
