A dedicated marathon and road race weapon for competitive runners who want maximum propulsion and can handle an aggressive ride. If you're not racing, the price and single-minded focus are hard to justify.
IncrediRUN foam over a full-length slotted carbon plate delivers high energy return and propulsion with a smooth transition. The tall 39.5/31.5 mm stack and 8 mm drop favor an aggressive, forward-driving ride rather than easy-paced comfort.
A featherweight knit and mesh upper offers a snug, race-oriented fit with strong breathability. Best suited to standard-width feet given the performance-focused last.
Competitive runners chasing personal bests over 5K to the marathon who want the propulsive edge of a plated supershoe.
You want a versatile daily trainer, run mostly easy paces, or prefer a stable, forgiving platform, as the tall plated stack is tuned for speed.
