The Caldera series has been a go-to for trail runners seeking stability, cushioning, and durability. With the RSVP Gallery collaboration, the Caldera 8 becomes something more than a performance shoe. Design features exclusive to this edition include a plastic lace toggle system, offering both utility and a modern aesthetic. A raised dimensional path runs across the upper, adding a sculptural quality, while a bubble logo on the lateral heel delivers a playful yet distinctive branding detail.
