Prospex Releases Three New Models Including Trail Running Shoes Exclusively for Trail Running

LS Networks' sports brand PROSPECS announced on the 1st that it has launched three trail running-specific products?a dedicated running shoe, vest, and run cap?designed with the characteristics of trail running in nature such as mountains, meadows, and forest trails in mind.

Unlike regular running, trail running involves running long distances and durations on rough dirt paths and mountainous terrain. Therefore, these dedicated products feature enhanced lightweight design and breathability to help maintain athletic performance over extended periods.

First, the ‘Cross Race’ is a versatile trail running shoe with excellent durability and traction. The upper part uses mesh material to improve breathability, and TPU material with seamless construction is applied to areas prone to contamination, allowing for a more comfortable and safer run even on harsh terrain.

Additionally, the midsole offers outstanding cushioning, and the outsole uses a non-slip rubber compound suitable for Korean terrain, providing optimal grip on various surfaces. The colors are unisex lime, men's navy and blue, and women's beige. The price is 129,000 KRW.

The ‘Trail Running Vest’ offers ample storage capacity. It includes four soft flask pockets that can hold 500mL water bottles, a front zipper pocket, a rear zipper pocket, and a rear open mesh pocket, allowing separation and storage of water bottles, energy gels, phones, and more, with a total capacity of up to 10L. Additionally, it features an E-band system to securely fix sticks in a cross pattern, and overall uses stretch mesh material for excellent breathability. The chest strap structure allows easy and snug adjustment of the straps, supporting stable walking. The color is black, and the price is 109,000 KRW.

The ‘Performance Light Run Color Block Lightweight Cap’ uses low-denier material throughout and features a thin, short brim to enhance exercise efficiency. It also applies a Coolmax sweatband that expels heat and sweat from the head, providing excellent moisture absorption and quick-drying functions. The colors are lime and orange, and the price is 49,000 KRW.

A PROSPECS representative said, “There are many famous spots for enjoying trail running in Korea, so it is rapidly becoming popular. Using products with expertise and technology will help ensure safe trail running.”
