COMFORT AT HIGH SPEED

Lightweight cushioning

Our dynamic BioMoGo DNA midsole provides the cushioning you need without weighing you down.

• BioMoGo DNA cushioning adapts to your stride, weight, and speed to help reduce impact on your joints.
• Our cushioning technologies all start with DNA because they react to your unique stride.

KEEP UP YOUR MOMENTUM

Quick transitions

Air-injected rubber at the front of the outsole grips the surface and propels you forward.

• We use air-injected rubber because it’s lighter and more flexible than traditional rubber.
• Quick transitions help reduce your ground contact times, keeping your stride quick and efficient.

BUILT-IN BREEZE

Extra breathable

A new air mesh upper helps you stay cool while providing a snug-yet-secure fit.

• Did you know that air mesh can be key in wicking away sweat and preventing blisters?

Origin stories: the Launch

Famous — or infamous? — for bold colors and eye-catching styles, the Launch was introduced in the spring of 2009 as a lightweight neutral trainer with a little extra softness. The name was inspired by our Hanson’s pro team, who would meet at a boat launch to start workouts around a lakefront path. Despite a brief absence from 2012-2014, the Launch was so loved that in 2015, after a vocal group of runners called for the shoe’s return, we introduced the Launch 2.
