Vanish Carbon 2

Racing2024-03-26 · Global · ReleaseChecked 2026-10-23

Vanish Carbon 2 revises the original zero-drop racer. Its forefoot-biased carbon-fiber Propel Plate becomes full length, while a higher stack and increased share of Altra EGO PRO foam add cushioning. Lightweight mesh and Slim FootShape fit retain toe space, and added outsole flex grooves support movement. This second generation targets road racing with more cushioning and a continuous plated structure.
