![]() ![]() That includes the optional and removable carbon fiber plate, which costs $35 and is designed for additional response during races and speed workouts. Named after Mount Pisgah near Hanes’ home in Eugene, Ore., the GS:PGH comes with all the features of the GS:TAM. “Of course, it also has Cam Hanes Branding and is a different color.” “The PGH is a little lighter through compound changes and we made some small adjustments to further optimize fit,” Dombrow said. The main difference between the two models is simply the weight, said Speedland co-founder David Dombrow, in a prepared statement. Cam Hanes evidently agrees, tapping that design for his own collaboration. Beyond that, our testers have generally loved the shoe for trail running. Last year, a GearJunkie review called that shoe “a beast” for its huge 37/30mm stack and customizable options for long-distance trail runners. In both form and function, the GS:PGH is only slightly different from its predecessor, the GS:TAM, produced with the input of Speedland athlete Dylan Bowman. Why not? (photo/Speedland) Speedland’s Cameron Hanes Collab: The GS:PGH For his pro-level running shoes collab, Cam Hanes chose a blood stain with bright blue. Preorders begin today with delivery expected this fall. Regardless of the way you read it, if you want your hand on a pair of these bloody soles, you’re going to have to wait a bit. Whether or not the blood represents your own or is more a play to the hunt is up for interpretation. “It’s representative of our blood.” - Cam Hanes It’s about the blood we sometimes have to shed to achieve our goals and push through,” Hanes said. “To me the blood splatter design represents our hard work, effort, and sacrifice. When GearJunkie asked Hanes about the design on Wednesday morning, he added another layer to the design’s intention. Hanes is a hunter, but he’s also a serious trail runner. Hanes’ focus on physical fitness means he uses running shoes for training, which is why the GS:PGH uses his favored color of bright blue instead of camo. The shoe itself is not necessarily new, but it has a new look that might just stir up both controversy and a buying frenzy. It’s a bold design that’s sure to draw some criticism from the non-hunt crowd. Obviously, this is a shoe designed for the trail, not the elk woods, but the crossover is hard to overlook. He’s no stranger to shedding a bit of blood, both on the running trail and in the field. Perhaps the design’s mixed metaphor was inevitable, given that Hanes trains for bowhunting with ultramarathons and chose “Keep Hammering” as his official slogan. To be fair, it’s the design choice of hunting personality Cam Hanes, who collaborated with the shoemaker for its latest limited-edition kicks. If you always wanted a new pair of running shoes to look fresh from a kill site, Speedland has the goods… and no, this isn’t a joke.
