R.A.D® Unisex UFO Running Shoes - Violet Dispersion

The R.A.D® Unisex UFO Running Shoes – Violet Dispersion are road-running super trainers engineered to build speed across distance. Designed for runners who want responsive energy return without sacrificing the cushioning needed for higher mileage, the UFO combines dual-layer SUPEFOAM™, performance-focused rocker geometry, and a sculpted heel bevel for a smooth, energetic ride during long runs, progression sessions, and threshold workouts.

The Violet Dispersion colorway brings a bold, futuristic finish to the UFO's distinctive silhouette, complementing the shoe's fast, unconventional performance personality.

At the heart of the UFO is R.A.D®'s SUPEFOAM™ midsole, a dual-layer PEBA blend built around a catch-and-release concept. A softer foam layer provides protective cushioning for longer efforts, while a firmer layer delivers responsive energy return when you increase the pace.

A flowing rocker geometry works with the sculpted heel bevel to encourage fluid landings, smooth transitions, and dynamic toe-offs. This forward-moving geometry helps the UFO feel efficient through sustained efforts while maintaining the responsiveness needed for faster training.

With a substantial 42 mm heel stack and 8 mm heel-to-toe drop, the UFO provides generous underfoot cushioning for demanding mileage. At approximately 249 grams in a men's US size 9, it balances high-stack protection with the lightweight, energetic character expected from a modern super trainer.

A textile and synthetic upper provides performance-focused comfort, while the durable rubber outsole supplies dependable traction for pavement and road-running workouts.
