The latest update to Topo's high-cushion neutral trainer, the Phantom 4, delivers an even more cushioned, responsive, and comfortable ride.
The all-new upper of the Phantom 4 is made using an engineered knit for highly breathable comfort and softness. The upper pushes built-up heat and vapour out while fresh air flows in for a pleasant cooling sensation, keeping you focused on the miles ahead. The upper features Topo's signature roomy toe box, helping toes splay into their natural position for better balance, stability and comfort. A traditional lacing system locks in the fit, securing the midfoot and heel for confident strides and a worry-free run. A padded tongue completes the upper, which reduces pressure points on the top of the foot while increasing overall comfort.
The Phantom 4 has a new and improved full-length, dual-density ZipFoam midsole to provide a super responsive and cushioned ride. ZipFoam is Topo's proprietary midsole compound, springier than EVA, offering more rebound than standard foam. The foam is lightweight, soft underfoot and highly responsive. This keeps you light on your feet and energised, propelling you into your next step, so you can pick up the pace and run for longer. The cloud-like foam absorbs shock, helping prevent discomfort and injuries by dampening impact when striking tough terrain. With a dual-layer construction, it provides two levels of cushioning - soft against the foot and firmer/more responsive against the ground, working in harmony to keep you protected and bouncy. The midsole geometry provides neutral stability, helping to reduce overpronation during your runs. With a greater stack height than the previous version, there is more cushioning underfoot. This midsole has a 5mm drop, Topo's highest drop, offering access to natural running with under-heel cushioning. Atop the midsole is a performance insole that offers long-term resilience and anti-microbial properties for step-in comfort and fresh-smelling feet.
Produced using an updated, highly durable rubber outsole, the Phantom 4 ensures traction on varied surfaces and conditions. The rubber provides strong grip, protecting itself from damage and the wearer from slipping. Used in high-wear areas such as the forefoot and heel to increase durability and resist heel strike trauma, for a reliable and long-lasting running partner. The rubber has been removed in the midfoot to reduce weight, keeping things light when you move.
