Taking inspiration from a wealth of running heritage, the 2019 editions of the 860 have been reimagined for the streets of today.

The silhouette houses details from its predecessor, combined with the right amount of aggression make the update to the 860 both familiar and fresh. Featuring an open mesh upper with hints of metallic details, the 860 delivers a running aesthetic of the late 90s, early 00s.
