Upper
Constructed from a four-weave engineered mesh that feels like a tough outdoor gear material. Large perforations deliver extreme breathability and zero water retention, keeping your feet cool and dry mile after mile.
Midsole
Powered by A19 TPEE supercritical foam — delivering PEBA-level energy return with double the durability against packing out over time. The aggressive rocker geometry rolls you forward seamlessly, providing a snappy, responsive, and energetic bounce without any mushiness.
Outsole
Full-length premium CPU rubber outsole for exceptional wet surface grip and long-lasting durability across all training conditions.
Stack Height & Drop
41mm heel / 34mm forefoot — 7mm heel-to-toe drop. High-stack maximalist protection ideal for daily training miles.
Weight
~189g–190g (US Men's 9). Lighter than many top-tier carbon-plated race day shoes — exceptional for a daily trainer.
Standout Features
- Effortless Bouncy Ride: Snappy, responsive TPEE foam with rocker geometry that propels you forward naturally.
- Plateless Safety: No carbon or plastic plate means significantly less strain on ankles and calves — ideal for high-mileage training blocks.
- Insane Value: Comparable performance to the Asics Superblast and other $200+ high-stack super trainers at a fraction of the cost.
Key Considerations
- Stability: Features a decoupled, unstructured heel counter without rigid plastic stiffeners. Best suited for runners with good ankle strength; not recommended for severe overpronators or heavy runners.
- Pace: The highly responsive midsole tends to push your pace up — less ideal for slow recovery runs.
- Sizing: Runs slightly long and wide. Consider sizing down half a size or using the included thicker "max performance" insole for a more secure fit.
