Altra Vanish Tempo 2 – responsive plated trainer with a 4 mm
drop
The Altra Vanish Tempo 2 is a fast road training shoe for
men, combining energetic training performance with a smooth
and responsive ride. Altra positions it as a plated trainer for runners who
want speed beyond race day. Its new FAST TRN midsole uses a
dual supercritical foam setup designed to deliver high rebound over longer
training miles.
A split PEBAX plate supports efficient propulsion while
allowing natural forefoot movement. The platform measures 34 mm at the
heel and 30 mm at the forefoot, creating a 4 mm drop.
According to Altra, the men's version weighs approximately 227
g in the stated reference size. The Racing FootShape fit provides a
performance-oriented shape for faster running.
The breathable engineered-mesh upper is paired with a padded heel and a soft,
lightweight tongue. An independent bottom eyelet helps improve midfoot lockdown
while leaving the toe area free to move. The Vanish Tempo 2 is a strong option
for tempo runs, faster workouts and runners who want a dynamic plated trainer
for regular road training.
