Anta C202 G9 2nd Generation — The Elite Marathon Racing Collection
The Anta C202 G9 2nd Generation is Anta's most advanced marathon racing series, engineered for elite athletes and competitive runners targeting sub-3:30 finish times. Built around the Nitro Edge 90 supercritical foam and an aviation-grade asymmetric carbon plate, every shoe in this collection delivers a feather-light, propulsive, and rhythmic racing experience from the first mile to the last.

Core Technology
-
Nitro Edge 90 Midsole: Nitrogen-infused foam with up to 89% energy rebound — soft, compliant, and consistent beyond 20km.
-
Aviation-Grade Asymmetric Carbon Plate: Increased curvature for faster rolling, reduced ground contact time, and explosive forefoot propulsion.
-
A-GRIP PRO Outsole: AI-optimized liquid anti-slip rubber for superior traction in wet and dry road conditions.
-
38mm heel / 30mm forefoot stack | 8mm drop — comparable to Nike and Saucony professional racing geometry.
Fit Guide
The C202 G9 2nd Generation fits true to size with improved lockdown over the first generation. Runners coming from Saucony or New Balance may want to size up half a size, as the Anta last can run slightly narrower in the forefoot.
