brief
p-005 'zeta' makes an argument for a mid priced trail shoe but which is equally at home on the road, ie getting to and from your favourite off road running.  it gets the job done

the idea
light weight, good cushioning through the midsole and a lacing system which can accommodate a variety of foot shapes.

a stretch shield buttons down to keep out the mud and stones
p-005 key:
upper material inspired by the veins on a leaf radiating from thick to fine over the surface giving great strength
mesh material, ultra breatheable.  piping divides water repellant upper (mustard colour) from highly breatheable upper (green colour)
pull tab.  the best way pull a mud caked shoe on and off

simple stud grip, a la tupu but with high traction ultra soft toe point for climbing on rocks.  blown rubber outsole keeps weight down but solid rubber studs makes wear life acceptable
