Our read
Kiprun's record-chasing shoe: a carbon Hook Plate with a Fluid Foaming TPU shell around Featherbounce PEBA foam. It is sold in limited quantities and aimed at fast racing over short distances; the brand points to a European 5 km record run in it.
Ride
Reactive, light ride: PEBA foam for energy return and a carbon plate for propulsion.
Fit
Not described on the page.
Best for
Short road races and records.
Avoid if
You want a daily trainer or a widely available shoe: supply is limited.
