The ANTA C202 5 GT PRO Men's Racing Running Shoes in Pink White are elite, carbon-plated racing shoes designed for marathon runners seeking speed and efficiency. They are known for their lightweight design and responsive cushioning. 

Core Technology & Features

· Midsole Cushioning: The shoe features ANTA's Advanced Nitrogen Technology (Nitroedge PRO foam), injected under supercritical high pressure. This provides a lightweight, highly elastic, and durable midsole with an impressive energy return rate of approximately 89%.

· Propulsion System: An integrated bionic carbon fiber plate (Flashplate) is designed to fit the shape of the foot, ensuring a smooth transition and giving runners an extra push forward.

· Traction & Durability: The outsole is made with a "liquid anti-slip rubber". This material increases wear resistance by 50% and wet slip resistance by 13% compared to normal rubber, offering reliable grip on various surfaces.

· Upper Construction: The upper is crafted from a combination of mesh, TPU, and synthetic leather for durability, breathability, and a secure lockdown fit.

· Weight & Specs: The shoe is very lightweight, with a US men's size 9 model weighing around 204 grams (7.2 oz). It has a stack height of 33mm in the heel and 25mm in the forefoot, with an 8mm heel-to-toe drop. 

User & Expert Opinions

· Performance: Reviewers on Believe in the Run describe the shoe as "incredibly fun and fast". Doctors of Running praise its versatility, noting it performs well across distances from 5K to a full marathon.

· Fit: While providing good lockdown, the fit can be snug, and a wider-footed runner might find the toe box volume slightly roomy, according to a Reddit review.

· Value: Experts highly regard the shoe for its excellent value, as it performs comparably to more expensive "super shoes" on the market.
