HYPER SPEED 6
HYPER SPEED 6 is ASICS’ sixth-generation lightweight speed trainer for workouts and racing. Versus HYPER SPEED 5, it adds 2mm of forefoot foam and 1mm at the heel, while the drop moves from 7mm to 6mm for a flatter, more cushioned geometry. FLYTEFOAM pairs with a durable engineered-mesh upper and OrthoLite sockliner. Forefoot ASICSGRIP and AHAR LO rubber in key wear areas suit tempo runs and intervals.
