Inov-8 Men's Roclite G 275 V2 Running Shoes

A supremely versatile trail running shoe for both hard and soft terrains. Designed to handle everything from dusty tracks to muddy bogs, the Roclite G 275 V2 is a versatile must-have for every trail shoe arsenal.

The versatility stems from its grip-hungry 6mm long rubber lugs that not only dig into soft ground but also hold firm on hard terrain. These sticky lugs are infused with Graphene - the world's strongest material - making them 50% harder-wearing.

Upgrades to the version 2 (V2) can be found in the midsole and upper. The midsole now features our Powerflow Max foam for greater comfort, cushioning and energy return. Below the foam sits a flexible rock plate for underfoot protection, while above it sits our super-soft, mega-bouncy Boomerang footbed.

The upper has been redesigned to give a better locked-in fit. This is thanks to the new wraparound Adapter-fit cradle system that connects the midfoot to the heel. Operated from the laces, when these are tightened, the cradle tightens too, pulling everything together for a secure fit that also adjusts to the natural movements of the foot. A new tongue further enhances the improved fit and comfort.

The mesh material that covers much of the upper is 25% stronger than before and made of a tighter - yet still highly-breathable - weave that gives greater durability and repels more grit.

The average weight of the shoe across the size curve remains 275g. The drop is still 8mm, with the floor-to-foot stack height measurements being 26mm in the heel and 18mm in the forefoot.

Forged in the fells and mountains of the British Lake District, inov-8 is a footwear, clothing and equipment brand for committed trail and off-road runners, fitness athletes and adventure-seeking hikers who push boundaries and stretch limits.

Since it was founded in 2003 by Wayne Edy, inov-8 has been renowned as a world leader in grip. The brand lives by the philosophy that an athletes' interaction with the environment is the single most important factor when designing products. Our kit is light, fast and always innovative, as proven by our pioneering use of wonder-material graphene in sports footwear.

Thanks to our agility as a brand we were able to beat other big sports companies to the use of our patent-pending graphene technology. We are the world's first - and only - brand to use the wonder-material in sports shoes.

We started working on the project in December 2016 with The University of Manchester, which homes The National Graphene Institute. The two scientists who first isolated graphene from graphite at the university in 2010 have since been awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics.

We never follow others, we carve our own way.
