Heat Always Rises
You bring the heat every mission — but when the mission brings the heat right back, the Scorch is here to serve. It's built first for breathability thanks to a lightweight upper patterned with mesh panels. The Plyolite® midsole and speed lace system work together to make it light, agile, and ready when you are, while the outsole is slip-resistant and designed for stability. When the heat is on, the Scorch is extra breathable to keep you cool all the way down.
