Inspired by supercars, The APL HySpeed® progresses design, performance, technology and construction in a breathtaking silhouette designed as an all-purpose performance running trainer, essentially a grand-tourer for your feet. The bold design, winner of the Gear Patrol 2023 Editor’s Choice Award for Best Gym Shoes, features a 3-piece segmented midsole with APL FutureFoam™ pods in the front and rear. Bridging the gap between the two pods is a full-length carbon fiber plate topped by our all-new nitrogen infused midsole compound, engineered for supreme responsiveness and energy rich compression. The directional weave of the carbon fiber chassis promotes forward movement while adding energy return with every stride. The wide stance of the FutureFoam™ pods offer increased stability during quick changes of direction, with the carved out midfoot section helping keep the weight low. The outsole is inspired by performance tires with a tread pattern designed for speed and traction. The upper is constructed around a newly developed version of APL’s TechLoom. The non-stretch TechLoom base features specific areas of reinforced super yarn that increase tensile strength in high-stress zones. A lightweight TPU toe bumper works directly with a soft touch internal liner to increase durability and keep your feet secure. The microfiber heel, featuring extended wings that connect directly to the eyerow, works in conjunction with the external molded counter to help lock your feet in place for strenuous workouts. A perforated, single layer microfiber tongue adds comfort and luxury. Inside the shoe is an advanced fitment system comprised of three protruding cushions that take direct inspiration from the elegance of supercar seats. These cushions provide a soft and secure ride for any situation. The heel lining extends out the back of the collar creating an integrated pull-tab with molded ridges for easy ingress. Underfoot is APL’s exceptional Soufflé Sockliner that was introduced in the fan favorite APL Streamline running shoe in 2021. The APL HySpeed® is a masterclass in driving innovation with materials, technology and construction to show what the future of performance footwear can be. Unisex sizing. Women's size 7.5 is 11.5oz.
