A pure road racer for experienced runners chasing PRs; its featherweight build and carbon-plated PEBA midsole define it, but the price and narrow racing focus limit versatility.
The PEBA-based optiFOAM+ and full-length carbon plate deliver a responsive, propulsive ride with snappy toe-off. The 39/33 mm stack gives cushioning underfoot while keeping weight low.
A snug, single-layer mesh racing fit that runs small, so consider sizing up. Regular width with no accommodation for wider feet.
Race day efforts from 5K to marathon for runners who want a light, propulsive plated shoe and don't mind a firm racing feel.
You want a daily trainer, need wide widths, or are on a budget given the $280 price.
