Don't be surprised if your running buddies have to tell you to slow down."

Reliable and Fast
I’ve had 6 pair of the Speed 4’s and I was a little reluctant with the roll out of the 5’s but they did not disappoint! They’ve been great for short and long runs and will be what I’m wearing during my next IM70.3 in October.
