Tracksmith Eliot Runner
Tracksmith's debut trainer: premium vintage-modern materials, a gum rubber outsole, and a firm traditional ride with a 10mm Pebax insole adding subtle pop. A style-first daily trainer for brand loyalists who also want it to work off the run. Runners chasing modern soft, bouncy foams or performance-per-dollar should look elsewhere, and sizing runs long.
