DESCRIPTION
The 361 Meraki 6 is a well-cushioned, neutral road running shoe designed for everyday use. It offers a smooth ride that delivers a cruising, long-distance feel. It’s ideal for the bulk of your running mileage, including long runs.
The magic of the Meraki lies in its midsole, which features two different foams. The base foam, Engage foam, is TPU-based and provides very high shock absorption with moderate energy return. On top of this is a layer of Primo foam, which offers moderate shock absorption and a good level of energy return. Effectively, the Primo foam adds the bounce to the midsole. The result is a foam that feels well-cushioned and responsive, but not too much of either, making it perfect for everyday training. The midsole is not so soft that you sink into it with every step, nor is the rebound so high that it urges you to run faster with each stride. Instead, the midsole is balanced, offering just enough cushioning for comfort and just enough rebound to make each stride feel effortless. This balance creates that cruising, long-distance feel.
