Review summary

Runners reach for this pair on tempo days and race mornings. They call out the spring off the carbon plate on each toe-off, how the supercritical foam softens the pounding on hard pavement, and how light the shoe feels deep into a long run. The breathable mesh upper gets steady praise for keeping the foot cool through a hard effort.

Real spring off the plate

First tempo run in these and the plate genuinely flicks you forward on toe off. My foot cycled quicker for the same effort and my legs were fresher at the end. Thrilled with them.

Thanks Mathieu, that quick toe off is exactly what the plate is built for. Enjoy the fast days.

Foam soaks up the pounding

I run a lot of road miles and my knees usually feel it. The supercritical foam takes the sting out of every landing here. Cushioned but still snappy when I pick up the pace.

Light as a feather

These weigh barely a thing on the foot. Deep into a long run my legs were still cycling over easily instead of dragging. The mesh upper kept me cool the whole way.

Great race day pick

Wore them for a 10k and got a fast split for me. The energy return is real on the back half. Took one session to dial in the lacing then the fit was spot on.

Cool and breathable

The super fiber mesh moves so much air. Even on a warm midday effort my feet stayed comfortable. The dark red pair looks sharp too and the sole feels premium.

Quick on intervals

Did a set of intervals in these and the plate rewards a fast cadence. Each rep felt springy and the foam saved my legs between efforts. A proper session shoe.

Snappy and cushioned

Lovely mix of cushioning and pop. The carbon plate gives that propulsive feel without being harsh. Wish there were more colorways but the ones offered look clean.

Legs stay fresh

The light build is the standout for me. On the back half of a long run my legs were free of any dead weight. Toe off feels effortless with the plate underneath.

Bought for my partner

Got these for my partner who races often and they have become the go to pair. The energy return and the soft landing got mentioned right away. The fit locks the foot in.

My new tempo shoe

These have taken over my faster days. The plate and foam pairing carries the pace and the mesh keeps the foot cool. Rotating them with a daily trainer keeps them feeling fresh.

That rotation is exactly how we suggest running them, Nikolaj. Thank you.
