Our read

A top-tier marathon racer for runners chasing PRs, defined by its soft-yet-propulsive high stack and Energyrods carbon setup. Buy it to race, not to train.

Ride

Soft LightstrikePro cushioning paired with a carbon Energyrods system and rocker geometry produces a propulsive, fast transition at the 39/33 mm stack and 6 mm drop.

Fit

Standard-width regular fit with a snug, race-oriented last; sizing runs inconsistent, so try before committing or size carefully.

Best for

Race-day efforts from the half marathon to the full for runners who want soft cushioning without giving up snap.

Avoid if

You want a durable daily trainer or need a wide fitting, as outsole wear appears early and only a standard width is offered.
