Key Features
Advanced Dual‑Foam Midsole
Combines Lightstrike Pro, increased by 13.8% over the previous version, with a firmer Lightstrike 2.0 layer for enhanced cushioning, energy return, and lasting stability.
ENERGYRODS 2.0—embedded fibreglass rods—add snappy propulsion and a dynamic toe-off, supporting efficient midfoot and forefoot striking.
High Mile-Readiness & Stack Height
36 mm heel stack and 30 mm forefoot stack create a 6 mm drop—offering a stable and responsive ride over long distances.
Outsole wear is minimal, with reduced rubber thickness for weight savings while maintaining durability.
Grip & Outsole Technology
LIGHTTRAXION outsole pattern targets grip and flexibility, keeping the shoe light without compromising traction.
High-wear areas are reinforced with Continental™ rubber, delivering superior grip on both dry and wet surfaces.
Engineered Breathable Upper & Secure Fit
Lightweight engineered mesh upper provides breathable, flexible support while securing the foot during uptempo runs.
Padded collar and tongue add comfort and reduce pressure on the foot.
Semi-gusseted tongue enhances lockdown and prevents slipping inside the shoe.
Weight & Fit Considerations
Weighs approximately 254 g (9.0 oz, US men’s size 9)—light enough for speed, supportive enough for daily volume.
Broad forefoot provides natural toe splay, while the snug heel construction adds control and propulsion through transitions.
Performance Highlights
High energy return in both forefoot and heel zones, making every stride feel more efficient and powerful.
Built for consistent performance across tempo efforts, long runs, and race-paced workouts.
User Experience
