Are these the Agassi shoes you are referring to:

One of my all time favorites!

They do run warm and as a consequence I tend to sweat quite a bit. The reason I bring that up is “funk ” builds accordingly. Absolutely my favorite shoe of all time.

But we’re all glad to have your blog and news to keep us updated!  I had no idea Merrell was planning this.

I am running in the Merell trail gloves, but wasn’t sure exactly where the Sonic glove fit into their run line. Like the colour.

Just got my dark cheddar trail gloves in the mail on Friday! The spraypainted yellow gradient looks good. Still remind me of Agassi’s shoes.

I use them on roads with no trouble. They will be coming out with a
road version next year I think.

The water goes in – and then it falls right back out as I keep running! I find it much much more useful than a more closed shoe that might admit some water but then have a tough time letting go of it. I combine the Trail Glove with some thin wool socks and lots of creek crossings in near freezing weather for a good time!
