Our read
A fast, cushioned trainer for tempo days and long efforts at pace — the soft PEBA-and-nylon setup gives it energy without the harshness of a race-day carbon plate.
Ride
Soft, springy underfoot from the DNA FLASH v2 PEBA midsole, with a nylon plate adding propulsion at a moderate 6 mm drop.
Fit
Standard width only, with a lightweight mesh upper that suits medium-volume feet; runners needing wide options should look elsewhere.
Best for
Uptempo workouts and faster long runs where you want plenty of soft cushioning without a stiff carbon plate.
Avoid if
You want a firm, stable platform, need width options, or prefer a snappier race-day carbon feel.
