Haglöfs joined forces with ASICS in preparation for the spring/summer of 2013 with the goal of developing the optimal pair of shoes for trail running.

The new shoes combine Haglöfs' extensive experience in products for demanding outdoor enthusiasts with ASICS’ knowledge about technologies for advanced running shoes and have the same monochrome design as all of Haglöfs' Intense products.

The result is Haglöfs Gram - trail running shoes with unique functionality and a style that will catch people's attention.

Haglöfs first began to design shoes for trail running several years ago. When ASICS took over as the new owner of Haglöfs in 2010, this project was given a boost.

The Gram trail running shoes are the result of this unique collaboration between one of the world's leading outdoor companies and one of the world's leading athletic shoe manufacturers.

The shoes have the characteristics that a wearer would expect from a Haglöfs product, such as high technical functionality, user friendliness and a refusal to compromise.

The Gram is designed to meet the challenges of changing terrain - from uneven trails littered with roots and branches to marshes and rocky mountain passes.

The pattern on the outsole has been carefully tested to ensure its traction and stability on both soft and hard surfaces.

The fit and material have been chosen to live up to the challenge - even when running well off the beaten trails.

The shoes are made from water repellent material in order to ensure they do not absorb water, while the construction of the tongue keeps out gravel and stones and the number of seams has been minimised to reduce the risk of chafing.

Haglöfs Gram trail running shoes are available in three models for both women and men.

Gram Comp is an extremely lightweight shoe with a minimalistic design that has been developed for competitions and serious, experienced terrain runners.

Gram All Mountain (AM) is both waterproof and breathable thanks to its Gore-Tex membrane.

Gram Cross Country (XC) is a lightweight shoe with an outsole that offers excellent traction, no matter the surface.
