"Grabbed a pair the day they dropped. Same barefoot feel as my Freedoms, broke in instantly, and the look is sharp enough to wear with anything. Glad I didn't miss the run."
Grounded™ Ascend
A limited-edition Grounded style. The same barefoot comfort and natural-movement benefits as our Freedom line, in a look you won't find again.
A Limited Run, Built On What Already Works
Ascend takes everything you love about Grounded, the wide toe box, zero-drop sole, and all-day comfort, and wraps it in a fresh, limited-edition silhouette. We made a small batch on purpose. When this run sells out, it is gone for good.
A Cleaner, More Versatile Look
Same foot-shaped fit and flexible sole. New lines that move easily from the gym to the street to the weekend, designed to pair with more of your wardrobe without compromising how your feet are meant to move.
Nothing Changed Where It Counts
Ascend is built on the exact same comfort platform as the Grounded Freedom: natural toe splay, ground feel, and zero-drop support that lets your feet do what they were designed to do. The style is new. The comfort is the Grounded standard.

Ascend Questions
How is Ascend different from the Freedom?
Ascend shares the same comfort platform, wide toe box, zero-drop sole, and flexible build, in a new limited-edition style. The fit and feel are the same; the look is exclusive to this run.
Will it fit the same as my Freedoms?
Yes. Ascend uses the same sizing as the Freedom line, so order your usual Grounded size.
Is this really limited?
Yes. Ascend is a small, one-time production run. When the available sizes sell out, we will not be restocking this edition.
What is the return policy?
Ascend is covered by the same Grounded guarantee as the rest of our footwear. If it is not right for you, we will make it right.
