Minimal running sneakers are great for providing a natural, lightweight feel, while trail runners are often a bit more rugged and heavy duty. The New Balance Minimus Zero Trail combines both of these concepts, resulting in one of the lightest trail runners you'll find on the market. Weighing in at a mere 4.4 oz, the New Balance Minimus Zero Trail is constructed with NB's synthetic Minimus technology. The midsole of the New Balance Minimus Zero Trail utilizes Acteva, which is 12% lighter than standard foams and provides cushion and impact absorption. The New Balance Minimus Zero Trail's outsole is ready for tricky terrains with a minimal Vibram outsole which offers surfaces contact and multi-directional traction. If the New Balance Minimus Zero Trail sounds like a sneaker that will benefit you this spring, pick them up today for $70.
