Apex

RacingPlanned release 2027-01Global

Apex is a new road racer for marathoners pursuing time gains. Four forefoot Air Zoom units form two stacked pairs, working with ZoomX LT foam and an inverse-wave carbon-fiber Flyplate. Its equal-height, zero-drop platform combines a wider outsole with rocker geometry. A Flyknit X upper omits the sockliner, while GOATEK and Fast Shot traction are placed where needed.

Intended uses:
Race, Marathon
