Product Highlights:
The Altra Vanish Tempo 2 marks the highly anticipated return of this fan-favorite performance trainer. With a top-to-bottom redesign, it aims to be your one shoe rotation killer, handling everything from easy miles and long runs to tempo workouts and race-day prep.
Underfoot, two layers of soft PEBA superfoam and a full-length Pebax plate work together to keep your stride feeling energetic and efficient, helping you hold pace when fatigue creeps in. This super trainer's new 4 mm drop honors Altra's natural design heritage while putting you in a faster stance for quicker and easier turnover.
Up top, soft and breathable mesh creates a race-inspired fit with generous space in the signature anatomical toe box. Note that the independent bottom eyelet is threaded through the tongue instead of the main eyelet row, allowing your toes to feel more free while your midfoot and heel stay securely locked down.
Completing the package, a full-coverage rubber outsole creates depth for durability and textured grip for high-speed corners across variable road conditions.
When you crave speed on any day, not just on race day, lace up the smoothly responsive Altra Vanish Tempo 2.
