Why ZenSpeed?
Lems finally made a running shoe. Actually, two.
Both keep the roomy, foot-shaped feel Lems is known for, but they make different compromises for road running. The Lite stays lower and more minimal; the ZenSpeed+ adds more cushioning for a gentler step away from conventional trainers.
More cushioned + easier transition
ZenSpeed+
5 mm drop with more cushioning. The easier starting point if your current reference is a conventional road-running shoe.
From $175
