The Valkyrie Elite Carbon running shoe is TYR’s first foray into the race-day category, and this shoe brings a smooth ride with a fresh look. The LaunchPX midsole features a full-length carbon fiber plate for elite responsiveness. The mesh upper is one of the best out there for a race-day shoe, with an ideal balance of breathability and security for your long runs. TYR maintains their signature wider toe box in the Valkyrie Elite Carbon to allow a non-constrained fit for a comfortable yet quick stride. All of TYR’s products are engineered to give athletes top-tier support and durability—without compromising style—and the Valkyrie Elite Carbon Runner is no exception. Details Upper: TYR’s hyperweave mesh upper on the Valkyrie Elite Carbon provides unmatched breathability, keeping you comfortable on long runs. While lightweight and breathable, the midfoot reinforcement paneling locks down your foot for top-tier support. The molded sockliner and gusseted tongue prevent shifting so you can focus on the road ahead. Midsole: The LaunchPX midsole stands as the highlight of this race-day shoe, with a full-length carbon between two layers of 100% Pebax® foam. This lightweight technology enhances your running efficiency by relieving strain and improving stability. Additionally, the locking laces, molded sockliner and gusseted tongue all contribute to a secure fit. Outsole: The outsole has a generous amount of rubber for a race-day shoe, providing good traction on the road. This wider base gives you solid stability with every stride.
