A featherweight, firm-riding spike for competitive middle- and long-distance track racers who want propulsion over comfort. Its full-length Xelight plate and 5-pin aluminum traction define it.
Firm and propulsive with a rigid full-length composite plate and just enough nitrogen-infused DNA foam to take the edge off. Zero drop keeps you on the forefoot.
Locked-down, snug fit through the midfoot and toe, though reviewers note the heel isn't especially secure. Standard width only.
Track racers competing in 1,500m through 10K who want a light, aggressive spike for race day.
You need cushioning for road or daily training, or a secure heel and wider fit option.
