The R.A.D Mallow is a cushioned, supportive daily trainer built for road runs of all distances. It pairs a tall, soft ride with a stable platform, giving you comfort on easy days and a little pace when you want to pick it up.
The SwellFoam midsole, made with 40% bio-based EVA blended with OBC, sits at a 42 mm heel stack with an 8 mm drop. A dynamic toe rocker helps roll you smoothly through each stride, while a heel clip adds stability so the ride stays steady and controlled.
An engineered mesh upper gives an adaptable, breathable fit with secure foot containment, and plush collar and tongue materials add comfort. A rubber outsole finishes the build. The Duck Egg colorway pairs Blue Fox, Wild Dove, and December Sky for a soft, clean look.
