Topo Athletic has launched the new Specter Elite, the second style in its Pro Series, designed with advanced materials and a full carbon fiber plate.
The Pro Series is Topo’s elevated line, built for runners who demand responsive, lightweight performance on every mile. Specter Elite offers the most advanced materials and construction in Topo’s history, including a full carbon fiber plate.
Road Racer
Specter Elite, Topo’s first carbon-plated shoe, is built for road racing.
The carbon fiber plate pairs with Topo’s RevFoam ATPU midsole for a lightweight, high-energy-return ride. The ATPU insole adds additional rebound directly underfoot. A racer tongue minimizes weight, and an engineered mesh upper locks in a ventilated, race-ready fit.
Specter Elite is approved for competition by World Athletics and can be legally used in sanctioned competition.
“Specter Elite showcases years of work from every department at Topo. I couldn’t be more excited to bring it to market,” said Russ Stevens, Topo Athletic Product Director. “Our goal was simple: build a best-in-class racing shoe with Topo’s fit and product philosophy. I am thrilled with how well we’ve achieved this goal.
“It’s fast, light and responsive, which pairs exceptionally with our signature roomy toe box and secure midfoot and heel. Most importantly, we validated Specter Elite on the roads with multiple Topo employees and athletes, myself included, running races in prototypes to make sure it delivered at the highest level. I can’t wait to see what other athletes accomplish in the shoe.”
Specter Elite is available at topoathletic.com and at select run specialty retailers.
