THE VANISH CARBON
We’re bringing FootShape™ comfort to the magical world of carbon-plated shoes. Introducing the Vanish Carbon– an all-new race shoe from Altra Running.
HALF-PLATE.
FULL SPEED.
We said a hard ‘NO’ to a full-plated
carbon shoe, which we believe can
fundamentally alter the way your
body was designed to run. So, we
partnered with carbon fiber expert
Carbitex™ to design a plate that
naturally flexes with your foot,
providing an added boost and
propulsion in every stride.
ROCKER. ON.
Our rocker shape geometry is
designed to give the feeling of
being propelled forward with each
step and provides an efficient toe-off
without taking away from your
natural stride.
ALTRA EGO™ PRO.
We named it PRO for a reason.
Introducing EGO™ PRO, our
lightest foam designed to
cushion you mile after
fast mile.
FOOTSHAPE™: GOT FAST.
The Vanish Carbon features
our Slim FootShape™ Fit, designed
to achieve a perfect race-day fit.
This feature encourages your toes
to relax and sit naturally giving you
the power and stability you need
for fast, long-distance runs.
We were obsessed making a carbon shoe that delivered on performance that carbon has brought to the long, fast run. But we were not going to sacrifice our commitment to our bodies working in harmony with our shoes.
17, our magic number. We made and tested 17 prototypes to get our first, true long-distance speed shoe. Each version better than the last. Each version more and more in tune with how our bodies run.
Our overly obsessive commitment to discover new and innovative solutions, has resulted in the uniquely designed Vanish Carbon.
" The Vanish Carbon is the
intersection of performance
and natural movement.
I love the carbon half-plate
feature. Running in the Vanish Carbon
is not only freeing but when the finish
line comes into view, they help
find that next gear."
" The Vanish Carbon feels like
all the things I love about my
Altra trainers combined with the
innovative performance
elements of a race shoe.
When I first put them on,
I could feel my body soar
into action, feeling capable
and propelled forward with
each step. These shoes
helped elevate my training
and racing game, all while
staying true to all the
Altra team and ethos we love. "
COMFORT, MEET SPEED.
