The Craft CTM Nordlite Speed represents the next level of responsiveness and performance for serious runners.
Engineered Mesh Upper
The upper is crafted from a one-piece engineered mesh for ultimate comfort. The mesh works incredibly hard to allow air to fully permeate the entire upper, providing a constant supply of fresh, cool air while simultaneously forcing out hot, muggy air. The mesh is also extremely comfortable next to the foot decreasing distractions and irritation that can occur on longer runs. It is lightweight and flexible, moving with your foot for comfort and ease of use. A traditional lacing system locks down the foot for great stability, security and control. The shoes combine a tight and secure fit around the foot with an anatomic toe box. The result is a running shoe that fits like a glove for maximum power transmission during intense racing and at the same time allows your toes to spread out for optimal comfort and a more natural stride.
CR Foam Midsole
Made with a supercritical technology, Cr Foam™ delivers extreme energy return and maximum cushioning in a lightweight and sustainable package. The ingredients are fully integrated under high temperature and high pressure, magnifying the foam's qualities to provide increased levels of performance. The result is a high-performing midsole foam with a green approach as it is a non-toxic approach with no chemicals added to the raw materials. CR Foam delivers extreme energy return and maximum cushioning. It provides up to 3 times more damping and cushioning than regular midsole foam. Made of carefully sourced carbon fibre, the thin Ultra Carbon Plate™ works almost like a trampoline, offering best-in-class energy return. In addition, the tuned carbon plate comes with a precision split, allowing the big toe to press independently on the medial side of the plate and the other toes on the lateral side - which creates torsion to provide ultra-rebound on varying surfaces and angles.
Hybrid Traction Outsole
The shoe sits on a hybrid traction outsole designed for road and light trail use for maximum versatility. The 3 piece lugged traction rubber outsole is capable on the road and light trail, meaning you can go where the run takes you. It is durable, resisting wear for longer-lasting use. It's three-part composition reduces weight, meaning you can run faster and freer without being weighed down.
