SuperComp Elite v6

RacingRelease date 2026-07-27US

SuperComp Elite v6 is a race-day shoe aimed at the marathon. Building on v5's faster platform, this version shifts further toward a lighter, more propulsive marathon setup. A new Infinion foam platform works with a redesigned carbon-fiber plate, while an ultrathin, grip-focused outsole keeps the contact layer lean. Translucent mesh with FANTOMFIT is designed to hold the foot securely over the distance.
