Our Take

The Launch has always been a go-to for lightweight responsiveness on the run.  However, what we like most about the Launch is the fit.  While a lot of lightweight shoes start getting a last shape that more resembles a pure racing shoe, the Launch keeps to a platform that fits a better range of feet.  New this year is an engineered wrap knit upper to provide a secure fit while remaining breathable and a 'speed heel' which pulls the collar away from your Achilles to help avoid rubbing and irritation.
