Vanish Carbon
Vanish Carbon is Altra's first carbon-plated road racer. Its 33 mm zero-drop platform combines lightweight Altra EGO PRO, Active Stance Rocker, and a forefoot-biased carbon-fiber Propel Plate. Regional launch materials describe the plate as roughly half to two-thirds length, not full length. Breathable mesh, Slim FootShape fit, and an EVA-foam outsole complete the build for road races and marathons.
