S/Lab Phantasm 3

Salomon's carbon-plated PEBA marathon racer with an aero, gaiter-style upper. Firmer and snappier than most super shoes, it rewards heel strikers at half and full marathon pace.

What's new: Gets a much lighter aerodynamic upper and a firmer, snappier PEBA-based optiFOAM+ midsole with more forefoot foam than the Phantasm 2.
