Womens Ventus 2

Two foams. One ride. The Ventus 2 is built around a dual-layer midsole that does two things at once: CQT EXTREM3 supercritical PEBA foam delivers a light, snappy energy return from the moment you land, while Primo foam underneath provides plush, long-distance cushioning that keeps hard miles feeling effortless. Wrapped in a new micro-elastic mesh upper made with recycled yarn and a redesigned tongue-lockdown structure, it's a neutral trainer engineered for runners who want to go long without slowing down. One degree beyond what a long-distance shoe should feel like. Two Foams. Built for the Long Run. The Ventus 2 runs on a dual-layer midsole that works in sequence. CQT EXTREM3, a supercritical PEBA foam, sits closest to your foot and delivers a fast, light, snappy feel underfoot with a 75% energy return rate. Beneath it, Primo supercritical foam absorbs the rest, delivering a plush, luxurious cushioning experience that keeps your legs fresher deeper into the run. Two foams. Two jobs. One remarkably smooth ride from first mile to last. Lighter. Softer. Smarter. The eco-breathable upper is built from lightweight engineered mesh with a new micro-elastic construction, using recycled yarn to deliver sustained ventilation over extended mileage. Streamlined perforations and a dot-patterned vamp enhance foot-shoe integration and flexibility. A unified progressive dot design across the mesh, logo, and heel creates a cohesive look while helping stabilize the foot at speed. Reflective 3M at the heel adds visibility when the run starts before sunrise. Secure from Step-In to Finish Line. The Comfort Pressure-Free Tongue combines two breathable, ultra-soft materials in an ankle-contoured design that eliminates top-foot pressure during dorsiflexion and prevents tongue slippage deep into long runs. A reinforced Midfoot Lockdown Structure keeps your foot dialed in, boosting stability and delivering a secure, locked-in feel. A Premium Heel Collar Lining with smooth, plush foam padding completes the fit from step-in to final stride. Grip Forward. Cushion on Landing. GekkoGrip forefoot rubber grips the ground and propels you forward at toe-off. At the rear, High Abrasion Rubber Technology (H.A.R.T.) provides tough, durable grip in the highest-wear ground contact zones. A dedicated Rear Foot Platform Geometry ensures maximum cushioning upon heel strike, protecting your body from the accumulated impact of long-distance running. Fast on top. Protected underneath. Fresh Feet. Every Mile. Comfort Foam Insoles featuring open-cell Ortholite technology deliver long-lasting underfoot comfort with excellent moisture management and high breathability, so your feet stay dry and fresh through extended wear. Made with 20% recycled content, they're built with performance and sustainability in mind. Weight: 7.5 oz (size 8) Stack height: Heel (35 mm), Forefoot (27 mm)
