This shoe has almost everything the Pro has, minus the carbon plate. Instead, it has a full-length, S-shaped TPU (plastic) plate to lend stiffness, meaning runners get slightly less rigidity at toe-off, and at a lower price. Like the

Pro, the Speed’s midsole is the super-light PWRRUN PB. This shoe is ideal for someone who plans to save the Pro for race day and wants a comparable but less expensive daily training shoe. (And if you can’t afford both, the Speed makes an excellent compromise.)

WHAT IT’S FOR: Tempo runs or speedwork intervals on the track
