On Cloudtilt Arc in Alloy/Ivory

Slot 6 of 6

The Wildcard: Retro Runner

This is a slightly elevated version of your everyday shoe in a more fashion-forward retro design.

This slot will change regularly, so don't expect a pair to last more than a year or two.

My recommendation is the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 4, but it doesn't come in my size 14. So I'm phasing out my ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 for the On Cloudtilt Arc.
