Our read

A carbon-plated marathon racer for runners chasing PRs who want a firm, propulsive ride; the bungee closure is the main thing setting it apart from the standard Pro 5.

Ride

Firm and responsive, with the slotted carbon plate and SPEEDROLL geometry driving a snappy, rolling transition off the forefoot.

Fit

The bungee lacing offers a quick, secure lockdown rather than traditional laces; expect a snug, performance-oriented race fit.

Best for

Race-day efforts from 10K to the marathon where a firm, propulsive plated ride and fast lockdown matter more than plush comfort.

Avoid if

You want a soft, forgiving daily trainer or a cushioned recovery shoe, or you prefer the adjustability of standard laces.
