The GEL-CONTEND™ 9 running shoe provides good neutral cushioning and durability.

An engineered mesh upper stretches with the foot's natural motion and creates a comfortable fit. Meanwhile, the synthetic stitching on the overlays helps create a more supportive foothold.

The midsole features GEL™ technology and AMPLIFOAM cushioning. These technologies help increase durability while creating a softer feel underfoot.
