S/LAB PHANTASM 3

RacingRelease date 2026-01-16US

The S/LAB PHANTASM 3 reworks the road racer's aerodynamics with Swiss Side. Compared with its predecessor, reshaped midsole geometry and a seamless upper with a stretch gaiter cover the laces to reduce drag. PEBA-based foam pairs with a full-length energyBLADE Carbon plate, while single-layer Engineered Mesh and Road contaGRIP keep the design focused on racing on hard, flat roads.
