AG - Saker 3 RC

Designed especially for elite and experienced trail runners, it combines the rebound, cushioning, and lightness of top road running shoes with the traction, stability, and protection of trail running shoes. With four core strengths—outstanding traction, rebound, cushioning, and stability—the Saker 3 RC is a true all-terrain high-performance sneaker.

1. Its midsole uses a dual-density “frame+ core fill” design. The POE preformed outer frame with nitrogen-based supercritical foaming, offers long-lasting support and cushioning and prevents torsion, ideal for rocky, gravelly, or hard surfaces. The core, made of TPF plates with nitrogen-based supercritical foaming infill, achieves over 90% energy return rate. Weighing just 266 g for a single EU 41 shoe, it is as light as a top road running shoe.

2. Its outsole boasts all-terrain traction. Zoned Vibram lugs improve uphill propulsion and downhill traction while lateral edge lugs enhance side support for quick directional changes on forest trails and technical terrain. With Litebase technology, the outsole is 30% lighter, balancing traction and light weight.

3. The upper balances breathability with protection. High-ventilation areas feature TPU yarn knit fabric for rapid moisture-wicking and heat dissipation. PP film reinforcement protects the toe and lateral zones from abrasions and branch scratches. A lateral TPU fiber knit wraps and supports the foot to prevent torsion, ensuring stability over long-distance runs.

4. Its overall silhouette is shaped like the wings of a diving saker. The midsole curves are inspired by the arc of a talon gripping rock, visually unifying with the outsole lugs and underscoring the shoe’s all-terrain performance. The shoe uses a pure-white base, symbolizing the runner’s trail-ready identity—every trace of dirt earned on the trail becomes a badge of honor. High-saturation orange highlights the A-line support structure and key contours, echoing the shoe’s high speed while providing instant recognition in complex terrain, helping teammates, photographers, and race personnel to spot runners easily.
