help Brooks Cascadia Elite FAQ

What makes the Brooks Cascadia Elite different from the regular Cascadia?

The Cascadia Elite is significantly lighter than the standard Cascadia model, targeting competitive trail runners who want responsiveness. It uses Brooks' DNA FLASH midsole nitrogen-infused foam, which is also featured in their racing shoes like the Hyperion Elite.
