A dedicated race-day super shoe for runners chasing PRs on the road; its soft, springy midsole paired with the SpeedVault+ carbon plate defines the ride.
Soft DNA GOLD cushioning with a carbon plate and rocker geometry delivers a propulsive, snappy toe-off that some find less stiff than rival carbon racers.
Fits true to size for most, though feedback splits between snug and roomy; available in standard width only.
Road racers wanting a lightweight, plated shoe with softer cushioning for half and full marathon efforts.
You need a wide fit, a firmer race platform, or a versatile daily trainer rather than a single-purpose racer.
