On Cloudboom Max W Juniper

Deep green is an unusual choice for a racing shoe, and the women's Cloudboom Max wears it well. The substance is in the midsole: a tall, resilient platform with a carbon plate running through it, built so that marathon pace still feels sustainable when the legs have stopped volunteering and the last few miles have to be decided on.

It belongs in a rotation as the shoe you barely touch until the goal race and the final long sessions before it. The women's fit holds the heel securely over a high stack, the upper is light enough not to work against the midsole, and the rolling geometry keeps toe-off smooth at speed. Everything about the shoe is arranged around the closing miles of a race.
