The Cross Freak, introduced last season and aimed at elite athletes, has been completely revised from top to bottom. The upper is closed, ripstop mesh with laminated no-sew overlays to support the shoe and shed mud when the conditions get sloppy. The new sueded tongue adds comfort to the fit, along
with the seam-free interior. The midsole is single-density EVA with co-molded medial and lateral shank supports that meet beneath the outersole. The redesigned outersole is aggressively lugged, with a 5-spike setup to handle the muddiest of conditions. The fit, protection, and traction result in a successfully updated racer.
