Our read
A dedicated distance track spike for competitive runners chasing PBs from the 1500 to the 10,000; light, aggressive, and unapologetically single-purpose.
Ride
A zero-drop carbon plate paired with a springy PEBA midsole delivers a responsive, propulsive ride optimized for fast track running.
Fit
Fits true to size in a standard width only, with the snug, race-oriented feel expected of a spike.
Best for
Track athletes racing middle to long distances who want a light, plated spike for surges and finishing kicks.
Avoid if
You run on roads, trails, or need any everyday cushioning and versatility — this is a track-only competition spike.
