The GEL-VENTURE™ 9 is an entry-level, neutral trail shoe that offers improved cushioning and better traction.​

The outsole features a lugged traction pattern that's versatile for various surfaces and a supportive upper with a reinforced toe panel.​

The midsole has been modified with AMPLIFOAM™ cushioning and when combined with the rearfoot GEL™ technology, these features help create a softer and more comfortable feel underfoot.​
