“Our design team and road testers work tirelessly to ensure that
our performance running shoes are fast and deliver the latest
innovations,” said Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “The
pure result of this effort is the Skechers GOrun Speed Elite
Hyper—our flagship technical racing flat that represents everything
we stand for in the category. We originally designed this shoe
specifically for the elite athletes on our team—giving them the
competitive edge to win races. Runners around the world have been
asking when they could get a pair. We listened, and the Skechers
GOrun Speed Elite Hyper is now available to anyone aiming for the
podium. We expect the running community buzz generated by the Speed
Elite Hyper will also shine the spotlight on our entire collection
of award-winning performance running products.”
“The Speed Elite Hyper is a fantastic shoe and it has become my
go-to in road races,” said 17-time national champion and Skechers
elite runner Edward Cheserek, who tested and provided keen insight
on the competitive flat. “It’s great this racer that I helped
develop is now available to all runners.”
The Skechers GOrun Speed Elite Hyper is designed to compete with
the highest tier of technical running gear in the market. It
features a unique patent-pending infused carbon fiber polymer
winglet plate that makes the Speed Elite Hyper one of the lightest,
fastest, most authentic racers in this category. Developed through
biomechanical testing and insights from elite athletes, the winglet
plate is designed to help runners transmit power to the ground with
reduced energy loss, for improved running economy.
The Speed Elite Hyper is the latest in a collection of running
styles from Skechers that feature an innovative Hyper Burst
midsole, which is made using a “super critical” foaming process to
create spherically-shaped cells in tight format. It is the lightest
and most resilient midsole foam that Skechers Performance has
offered to date. The unique irregular cell structure is unlike most
other EVA foams on the market today. The shoe also includes
Goodyear Rubber Technology on a portion of the outsole for enhanced
grip, stability and durability.
Since its debut with the first model of Skechers GOrun worn by
Meb Keflezighi in 2012, Skechers Performance footwear has earned
respect throughout the running world and won numerous awards within
the footwear industry—including 10 editorial awards in 2019
alone.
