The North Face Altamesa 500 V2: soft cushioning and high rebound

Light on your feet, cushioned for long distances

Weighing approximately 277 grams, the Altamesa 500 V2 is surprisingly lightweight, a feature not always common in the world of trail running. Much of this is thanks to the engineered, ultralight upper, designed to offer breathability and a secure fit without weighing down the structure. The true heart of the model is the midsole with DREAM foam, the most advanced technology developed by The North Face for trail running. Enriched with nitrogen, this supercritical compound guarantees soft cushioning and energy return, offering a smooth stride even on the hardest terrain. The result is a shoe capable of maintaining comfort and protection even after many hours of running. Completing the structure is the Surface CTRL outsole, equipped with 4 mm lugs, designed to ensure traction and stability on the most variable trails, from compact surfaces to softer terrain.
