Since Nike used full-length carbon plate running shoes in Breaking 2, major brands have been scrambling to launch their own carbon plate running shoes in the past two years. Even some retro shoes have adopted full-length carbon plates, such as the Pensole full-length carbon plate running shoes we are talking about today. This is a retro shoe designed by former Nike design director and Yeezy 350 V2 co-designer Jeff Henderson.

The military green color exudes a strong retro vibe, full of tough guy aura.

Lightweight three-dimensional breathable mesh fabric, finely woven, with good breathability. Striped hot-melt film fits to strengthen the upper support and increase protection.

Anti-collision toe cap, reinforced with leather, protects the toes while increasing the durability of the upper. Cross-stitched leather strips run through the entire pair of running shoes, a very retro design method, which plays a crucial role in enhancing the support of the upper and ensuring the stability of the feet. The large area of fluorescent design on the heel enhances safety for night running.

The shoe collar and tongue are tight yet soft and comfortable, with finely crafted lining.

The midsole uses ENRGFOAM material with a built-in full-length carbon plate, which is the essence of the entire shoe. ENRGFOAM is responsible for shock absorption, while the full-length carbon plate makes the running shoes more elastic, providing effective propulsion for the user and shortening feedback time. Additionally, the toughness of the carbon plate ensures that the running shoes are not easily twisted or deformed during intense movements, enhancing stability and providing better support and protection for the arch, preventing ankle sprains.

The outsole features small floral anti-slip patterns, with wear-resistant rubber only at the front and rear ends, aiming for lightweight design.

EVA hollow insoles ensure maximum breathability.

A single shoe of the Pensole full-length carbon plate running shoes in US size 9 weighs 270 grams, which is a conventional weight.

In appearance, the Pensole full-length carbon plate running shoes are a pair of retro casual shoes, but the midsole is equipped with the hottest carbon plate, which certainly gives them the attributes of running shoes.

When running with the Pensole full-length carbon plate running shoes, the entire sole is relatively hard, and softness and cushioning seem unrelated to this pair of running shoes. Moreover, due to the full-length carbon plate, the degree to which the entire sole can bend is relatively small. This is the most intuitive initial foot feel of this pair of running shoes.

Due to the involvement of the full-length carbon plate, the overall hard midsole indeed has stronger anti-torsion ability than other running shoes, and stability is highlighted throughout the running process. Additionally, the hard midsole shortens feedback time, which helps with force and speed acceleration.

Overall, the foot feel of the Pensole full-length carbon plate running shoes during running is not comfortable for ordinary users. This may be a characteristic of the full-length carbon plate, as its use is for speed and stability. The retro upper design somewhat limits speed improvement, and the design scheme where both aspects constrain each other makes this pair of Pensole full-length carbon plate running shoes more suitable for short-distance runs (within 10 kilometers). Of course, as casual sports shoes, they are impeccable.
