There is 100% a trail version prototype, I've seen and held it in my own hands. It has a white upper with the outline of the Western States 100 course on it and a blank lines for you to write your name and time on the shoe with a Sharpie. If you need more proof then check out Mario Mendoza's Instagram.
Can confirm. I have this shoe. Tested it for Brooks. It's a great shoe for mostly non technical trail running. I tried it on the AT in Virginia and it was okay. Good grip, but on the rocks and more technical trail, I prefer "more shoe" if that makes sense. I also found it heavier than the Hoka Speedgoat 3 and not as flexible as that shoe either.
