Vanish Tempo 2
A light, low-drop tempo trainer with supercritical FAST TRN foam over a flexible split PEBAX plate. It is comfortable for threshold and marathon-pace work rather than all-out speed.
What's new: Replaces the original's EGO PRO midsole with Altra's dual supercritical FAST TRN foam, sitting over a split PEBAX plate.
