Kiprun
Kipstorm Elite
Kiprun's carbon-plated racer puts a PEBA core on an unusually wide, stable base. Bouncy and propulsive for well under super-shoe money.
What's new: Replaces the KD900X LD+, swapping its VFOAM PLUS midsole for a PEBA core over the carbon plate on a much wider, more stable platform.
