Its great value for money has made the Kanadia saga one of the best-selling models of adidas running for running in the mountains. Especially for a specific niche such as beginners in trail running, or for all those runners looking for the good sensations of running in the mountains, but without being overburdened with the mileage to be covered.
The adidas Kanadia TR 8 continues to offer good performance at an affordable price, despite the total renovation of the model. Thus, with an approximate weight of 275 grams (size 42.5EU) and a drop of 10 millimeters, the Kanadia TR 8 are designed to provide great traction and stability to the trail runner. A trail runner whose profile is indicated to have a neutral stride and a weight that does not exceed 80 kilos.
To discover all the new features of the adidas Kanadia TR 8, it is necessary to make a brief dissection of this eighth version, analyzing the most important parts of this trail running shoe.
Starting with the midsole, the lightweight CloudFoam EVA foam has the specific mission of providing the cushioning and responsiveness needed to move lightly and comfortably over the most technical terrain.
In the outsole, the adidas Kanadia TR 8 incorporates the Traxion compound, and based on the successful Terrex collection for outdoor activities, they mount a whole network of prominent and opposing lugs to improve efficiency, providing greater reliability, and also extending the life of the shoe. In this sense, perhaps the characteristic Continental rubber, present in other reference models of the German brand(Superonova Riot Boost, Terrex Agravic, Terrex Boost or Terrex Boost Skychaser, among others), may be missing, but in terms of traction this model responds with great solvency.
Its upper has also been renewed, and has a very breathable mesh. In the front area, the shoe incorporates a very resistant Nylon fabric, while the rear part is thermosealed. In addition, the Mudguard system prevents both rain and mud from penetrating inside, so feet remain dry at all times.
The adidas Kanadia TR 8 also has a series of lateral bands that, apart from adding a touch of design, reinforce the model's stability system. All this increases protection and safety in the different movements of the foot.
One last detail of this model of adidas running for running in the mountains is in its removable Ortholite insole, which is a plus for its maintenance and conservation. Thus, the adidas Kanadia TR 8 has been revamped with an innovative design, superior cushioning and superb grip in virtually all directions.
