Performance Profile

This shoe is purpose-built to maximize running economy over competitive distances from 5k sprints to full marathons. The unique decoupled midsole design separates the cushioned heel from the explosive forefoot, allowing the exposed carbon fiber plate to flex and spring back dynamically. It provides unmatched raw energy storage, translating to an average time-saving advantage for competitive marathoners.
