A Premium, Next-Gen Gravel Super Shoe, Built to Help You Achieve Race-Day PRs
Gearing up for your next big gravel or trail race? The Craft Kype Gravel is the perfect companion for everything from uptempo training runs to race day. The lightweight, versatile design can tackle whatever you throw at it, helping you feel fast and confident as you fly across gravel and light trails.
A dual-layer midsole combines supercritical PEBAX foam with ultra-light, flexible ETPU foam for a high-performance underfoot feel that maximizes responsiveness and energy return. Embedded in these midsole layers, an Arkema glass-fiber-reinforced plate aids in propulsion and stability. A rocker geometry works alongside the springy foam and plate to guide you forward effortlessly through every stride.
The unique, tire-inspired Vittoria outsole design provides a superior gravel running experience, creating exceptional grip on gravel, rocks, light trails, and other loose terrain. A split-heel Grip Chamber System provides even more traction on challenging terrain, ensuring more safety and security with every step. Finally, a lightweight upper hugs the foot, offering a performance-ready fit that keeps you locked in and focused on the trail ahead of you.
