Our read
A do-it-all uptempo trainer for runners who want plate-assisted propulsion without a race-day price commitment; the PEBA-based cushioning makes it as capable on long runs as on tempo days.
Ride
Soft, springy PEBA and DNA FLASH cushioning paired with a nylon plate and rocker geometry for smooth, assisted transitions at pace.
Fit
Airy, breathable mesh upper with a secure lockdown, available in standard width only; fit runs roughly true to size.
Best for
Uptempo workouts and faster long runs where you want cushioning and propulsion in one shoe.
Avoid if
You need a firm, ground-feel ride, a true carbon race shoe, or widths beyond standard.
