Shoe Technology
Upper: Secure and breathable upper uses a lighter heel counter for optimal turning and comfort. FootShape™ toe box lets the toes relax and spread out naturally, while the big toe remains straight for a powerful toe-off.
Midsole: Altra Ego™ midsole is slightly firmer for extra energy return and race-day responsiveness. ZeroDrop™ platform encourages low impact landings and proper form.
Outsole: Footpod™ technology maps the bones and tendons of your foot to help it bend and move naturally. InnerFlex™ provides grid-like grooves to allow your foot to flex while being lighter, increasing speed.
