Launch 11
Launch 11 is a lightweight neutral road shoe for daily runs and faster workouts. Its midsole pairs DNA FLASH with DNA FLASH v2 in the forefoot for a responsive feel. Revised RoadTack rubber supports grip and quick transitions. A breathable mesh upper holds the foot securely, while the Speed Heel collar sits away from the Achilles to limit rubbing. It suits runners moving between regular mileage and speed sessions.
