Carbon X 3

RacingReleased 2022-03-01JP

Carbon X 3 is a plated road shoe for long-distance and faster training. It retains the previous model's midsole geometry and responsive carbon-fiber plate, while updated midsole material targets greater elasticity, lower weight, and improved response. A performance-knit upper and integrated knit tongue wrap the foot, and PROFLY X pairs Early Stage MetaRocker geometry with a Rubberized EVA outsole.
