Exclusively patented uppers:Light, breathable, yet extremely robust.
With a sock construction to enhance comfort as you run (and avoid getting pebbles/debris in your shoes)
DROP 6 MM
The sole gives you a drop of 6 mm (31.5/37.5 mm)
Model co-created with Thomas CARDIN
Our aim was to make a shoe that wins.So, naturally, we turned to Thomas CARDIN (European Champion, winner of races such as Les Templiers, SaintéLyon, etc.) to help us create this model.This Kipsummit Race combines technical expertise with experience on the field to help you win your trail running races.
WEIGHT
Weighing 220 g in size 5, your shoes just get lighter and lighter.
Patented carbon plate
We developed a carbon plate specifically designed to deliver exceptional energy return whilst guaranteeing great stability.
Ultra dynamic shoes
The Kipsummit Race is KIPRUN's first trail running SUPERSHOE featuring a carbon plate.It scored an impressive 78% in propulsion for its excellent responsiveness, powering you towards victory in any type of race.
Designed for high performance on 'rolling' ultra trails such as the UTMB® or Western States Endurance Run 100®, this model's just as effective on shorter distances.In fact, Thomas used it on a 42 km-race, Le Marathon du Mont Blanc 2025, and came in third.
