INOV-8 PARKCLAW G 280 RUNNING SHOES

The ultimate road-to-trail running shoe, specifically designed to deliver hybrid performance. The Graphene-enhanced G-FLY midsole and raised 8mm drop give outstanding levels of bounce, cushioning and comfort. Beneath that, the Graphene-enhanced G-GRIP rubber outsole features almost 200 lugs per pair that deliver a smooth ride on the road and the world’s toughest grip on trails. A breathable engineered mesh upper, wider toe-box and BOOMERANG footbed complete a versatile shoe ready for all adventures from the door.

Graphene is the world’s strongest material. Graphene-enhanced G-GRIP rubber delivers insane sticky traction AND increased durability, no compromise. 50% stronger, 50% more elastic, 50% harder wearing.
98 multi-directional 4mm deep lugs on each shoe give a smooth ride on the road and aggressive grip on the trails. They’ve been shaped and positioned to improve propulsion at the front and braking at the rear.
Graphene-enhanced G-FLY cushioned foam gives 25% more energy return. It retains its thickness and optimum levels of energy return for longer, helping runners feel faster and fresher over greater distances.
Laboratory tests show that even when the G-FLY foam is aged to mimic extensive use, it still delivers more energy return than some unaged foams. Testing shows it still performs strongly after 1,200km – double the industry standard.
BOOMERANG insole features hundreds of expanded TPU beads that compress and spring back for 40% more energy return – and greater cushioning – than standard insoles.
A more open mesh around the forefoot allows greater breathability, while a more closed mesh elsewhere, coupled with a heel counter, delivers a locked-in, supportive feel.
8mm drop (heel to toe differential) perfect for anyone transitioning from traditional road running shoes. Combined with wider toe box and a plush tongue, it gives a comfortable feel and ride. External heel loops make it easier and quicker to put shoes on.
Strong yet flexible toe bumper protects front of feet from rocks and trail debris.
