On Cloudboom Max 1 W White

A clean white race shoe sets a certain tone on the start line, and the women's Cloudboom Max 1 backs it up. The carbon plate runs through a tall, lively midsole, and the combination favours runners chasing a time over a long distance rather than anyone looking for a general-purpose trainer. It rewards a committed, rhythmic stride.

Keep it for marathons, halves and the key long sessions in a build-up, where the rebound underfoot counts for most in the final miles. The upper is thin and close-fitting to hold the foot over that stack without adding weight, and the outsole rubber is placed only where the shoe actually contacts the road. Nothing on the shoe is there that does not contribute to going faster.
