C202-7, a high-performance racing shoe, reinterprets Le Mans engineering for everyday runners. By combining aerodynamic design with advanced lightweight construction, it delivers elite-level propulsion while remaining highly accessible, enabling a wider running community to enjoy smooth transitions and enduring comfort.
Inspired by the 24 Hours of Le Mans, C202-7 embodies a design philosophy where every detail is purpose-built for speed. Clean, aerodynamic lines emulate the airflow-optimized surfaces of a race car. A distinctive "layered suspension" heel structure not only enhances propulsion mechanics but creates a signature silhouette, with the exposed carbon plate evoking high-performance engineering aesthetics.
A visual embodiment of aerodynamic speed, the C202-7 features a gradient stripe reminiscent of a racing car’s motion blur. Angular cuts and curvatures on the midsole reflect light dynamically, echoing the finish of high-performance auto coatings. The suspended heel and exposed carbon plate visually externalize the shoe’s technological core, crafting a distinctive, recognizable silhouette.
C202-7 features an industry-first extended-lever bionic carbon plate designed to optimize energy transfer for heel and midfoot strikers. The nitrogen-pressurized foamed midsole offers an ideal combination of lightweight responsiveness and durability. An AT-FIBER upper reinforces the shoe with scratch-resistant tensile strength while maintaining a featherweight profile.
C202-7 reduces fatigue and injury risk by facilitating smoother heel-to-toe transitions and stabilizing propulsion—without requiring elite strength or form. The ergonomic geometry and carbon plate integration support consistent performance over long distances, helping runners stay comfortable, confident, and focused throughout the run.
