◾️DESCENTE | DELTAPRO EXP V3
Racing shoes for elite runners equipped with a fork-shaped carbon plate

The fork-shaped design, which splits into four sections toward the forefoot, ensures optimal rebound and propulsion regardless of landing position. By ensuring a large plate area over the index toe in the forefoot, power is efficiently transferred to the point of greatest pressure during push-off.

・Two-Layer Midsole with PEBA Foam
Lightweight yet highly cushioned and resilient PEBA (cushioning material) is arranged in a two-layer structure, and the combination of this with a carbon plate maximizes energy return, efficiently returning the force of your foot forward.

Kenyan runner Little Nick Kitundu wore this model to victory at the 2025 JTBC SEOUL MARATHON, held on November 2, 2025. His official time was 2 hours, 5 minutes, and 32 seconds, a significant improvement over his personal best (2 hours, 17 minutes, and 47 seconds).
