Features

Designed for those transitioning from beginner level

The upper is secured with laces and a strap.  
The upper is made of a Russell structure of synthetic leather and synthetic fibers.  
These materials are commonly used in beginner to intermediate level spikes, characterized by being lightweight and strong.  
While it is heavier compared to the company's advanced spikes like Jet Sprint (JET SPRINT), it is lighter and very durable compared to entry-level models.  
The fit is similar to Asics' entry-level model, Effort MK (EFORT MK), providing a feel close to training shoes.  
Compared to spikes with a Dynawrap structure found in Asics' advanced spikes like SP Blade 9 (SP BLADE 9), the fit is inferior.

Versatile spikes suitable for intermediate athletes in various events

The width is narrower than the company's beginner spike, Effort MK (EFORT MK), and wider than Jet Sprint (JET SPRINT), making it of standard width.  
However, since it accommodates everything from sprints to long distances, some may feel that the fit is too small for sprints, or conversely, that the sole's rebound is too strong for long-distance running.  
The heel and toe are shaped similarly to standard Asics training shoes, so if you regularly wear Asics training shoes, you should have no problem wearing these spikes as well.  
Since it can be worn with a feel similar to training shoes, it is an easy-to-wear spike for beginners.

Grip that can also be used for long jump

The pin arrangement consists of a total of 7 pins configured as 1-2-1 (outer)-3 from the toe, allowing for balanced placement and stable ground contact.  
The completely flat sole provides excellent stability during ground contact.  
This stability allows you to wear these spikes across a wide range of events without restriction.  
Thanks to the synergistic effect of the pin arrangement supporting ground contact, it is a very user-friendly spike that beginners can handle with confidence.  
Additionally, the sharkskin at the heel is rubber-like, providing a non-slip effect. However, unlike metal-like sharkskin found in adidas spikes, it may become dysfunctional relatively quickly over time. Consider this as a guideline for replacement.

A versatile model that can also be used for practice

Considering that it is a short-distance spike, there is almost no curvature in the sole. However, it does have more curvature than the company's Jet Sprint. One of the main features of this spike, as indicated by its name, is that it is almost flat from the toe to the heel. Therefore, while the company's long jump spike, Long Jump PRO, is recommended for those who have decided to specialize in long jump, it is also recommended as a hybrid between long jump spikes and short-distance spikes for those who are unsure about their specialized event. The flat structure allows for stable landing even for beginners, making it very suitable for correcting landing sensations.
