Meridian 5 Road Running Shoe

Description

Five versions in, the Meridian is still our workhorse: medium cushioning, a 10 mm drop and a durable build that suits new runners and high-mileage veterans alike. The dual-density midsole pairs a soft top layer for step-in comfort with a firmer base that holds its shape, and the full-coverage rubber outsole lasted well past 400 miles (640 km) in our abrasion testing.

This update brings a softer mesh upper made with recycled yarns, a thinner tongue with a lace keeper and slightly more room across the forefoot. Weight is 270 g (9.5 oz) in a men’s US 9. Reflective heel and toe details help on dawn runs, and it pairs naturally with the Crossway 7-Inch Running Short for everyday training. Shown in charcoal with rust orange overlays and a light grey midsole.
