Built for the ones who were never supposed to be here.
218 grams. Built in Britain, developed through 47 prototypes, made for the ones who were never the obvious choice. Light enough to race. Built to last the season.
One shoe. No bag full of backups.
The Zitanos 2.0 is not a running shoe that half works for everything else. It is a hybrid trainer built from the ground up for people who run, train, commute and keep moving all day, without swapping shoes. Engineered for the transitions, not just the miles.
ZITANOS 2.0
Wear it to believe it.

100% Considered Design
Built to last. Designed to transition. Made with intention. We are developing it with recycled and bio based materials, building to an 800km lifespan target, with 3M reflective detailing woven in. Every choice balances performance with responsibility, because the unlikely ones should not have to choose between doing good and doing everything.
Making impact
218 grams. 72% energy return. Tested to 800km across every surface a British training week throws at you. One shoe built for the whole day.
The trainer for athletes who refuse to be put in a box.
WHY IT MATTERS
Most running shoes are built for one thing. The Zitanos 2.0 is built for all of it.
Run to work. Train at lunch. Race on Sunday. The Zitanos 2.0 is engineered to move through your whole day without asking you to change shoes. Light enough to feel fast. Built to last the season. Made to mean something.
Designed in Britain. Developed through 47 prototypes and 10,000 miles of testing. This is what happens when a brand puts performance and purpose in the same shoe.
RUN WITH INTENT
At 218 grams, the Zitanos 2.0 disappears on foot. That is 14% lighter than the category average, not because we stripped it back, but because every component earns its place. The EVA midsole runs at 45C durometer, which means it is firm enough to feel fast and cushioned enough to protect you over distance. 72% energy return per stride in testing. That is the difference between a shoe that carries you and one that works with you.
The 6mm heel to toe drop promotes natural forefoot striking and reduces joint load whether you are chasing a personal best on race day or running easy on a Tuesday morning.
- Weight: 218g (UK 8)
- Energy return: 72% from responsive EVA compound, in development testing
- Drop: 6mm for natural gait and reduced joint stress
- Toe box: 102mm anatomical race fit with no cramping
BUILT FOR EVERY SURFACE
The carbon rubber outsole runs a 3mm lug depth and is built to an 800km lifespan target across concrete, treadmill, gravel and wet tarmac. Fewer seams means less friction and more miles before you notice the shoe at all.
When the light drops, the 3M Scotchlite integrated yarn keeps you visible without changing how the shoe looks in daylight. Early morning starts should not come with risk.
Outsole: Carbon rubber, 800km lifespan target
Reflectivity: 3M Scotchlite integrated yarn
Upper: Hexagonal lock structure for breathability and a locked-in midfoot
Construction: Welded overlays, strobel board, fewer seams

Wet pavement. Gym floors. Trail shortcuts. The Zitanos 2.0 handles surfaces that pure running shoes cannot. The high-grip carbon rubber outsole is built to an 800km lifespan target across concrete, treadmill, gravel and rain. Stable when you are chasing a PR. Confident when you are chasing a bus.
The Zitanos 2.0 supports how you move, whether that is a forefoot strike on pavement, a quick change of direction, or a full day on your feet. Support engineered to reduce fatigue across activities, not just miles. One shoe. Every movement. Built without compromise.
The Zitanos 2.0 looks as good at the coffee shop as it performs on the track. Streamlined silhouette. Premium materials. Details that work everywhere: reflective accents for early mornings, clean lines for client meetings, a vibrant orange colourway that expresses without shouting.
Performance you can train in. Style you can live in
