AERO BLAZE 3
AERO BLAZE 3 is a versatile road model for daily miles, tempo sessions and longer training runs. The third version is lighter and pairs an optiFOAM² midsole with optimized rocker geometry to balance cushioned impact absorption, energetic rebound and smooth transitions. Zoned Road Contagrip provides durable grip on hard, flat surfaces, while a breathable engineered-mesh upper and lightly padded tongue shape the fit.
