Represent 247 Arc-4 Elite Race Black

Represent 247 Arc-4 Elite Race Black

The Represent 247 Arc-4 Elite Race Black is a high-speed hybrid trainer built for athletes who demand a mix of explosive road pace and gym-floor stability. This shoe introduces a carbon-plated system designed to propel you forward while keeping your foot locked in during sharp, lateral movements. Featuring a stealthy black-on-black finish, it delivers a sharp, technical look that works just as well for daily wear as it does for race day.

The upper is built from a high-strength mesh that won’t stretch out or lose its snug feel over time. Whether you’re hitting a 5k personal best or grinding through a functional workout, the ARC-4 provides the energy return you need without the bulky feel of a traditional runner.

Core Features

• Carbon-Fiber Plate: An internal plate made from a carbon and Pebax blend that snaps back with every stride to push you forward.

• High-Rebound Foam: A specialized midsole that returns 65% of your impact energy, giving you a springy, cushioned ride.

• Breathable Mesh Upper: A dual-layer mesh with clear TPU reinforcements to keep your feet cool and the shoe’s structure intact.

• Low-Light Safety: Subtle reflective hits integrated into the design for visibility during early morning or late-night sessions.

• All-Surface Grip: A full-coverage rubber outsole designed for maximum traction on both wet pavement and gym turf.

Build & Materials

• Lightweight Midsole: A low-density foam chosen for its “memory” properties, ensuring the cushioning doesn’t bottom out after heavy use.

• Reinforced Sidewalls: Targeted TPU skins are welded to high-wear areas to stop the foot from sliding during heavy lifts or sprints.

• High-Abrasive Rubber: The bottom sole is built to resist grinding down, even when used on harsh outdoor surfaces.

• Cooling Insole: A 3mm perforated footbed that lets air circulate under the foot to prevent overheating.

Size Guide

How to Style & Fit

• True to Size: These are built with a performance-first fit; we recommend taking your standard sneaker size.

• The Full Kit: Pairs naturally with 247 shorts or joggers. The blacked-out look works best with monochrome or earth-toned gear.

• Hybrid Use: The 7mm drop makes it stable enough for lifting weights while still being aggressive enough for long-distance runs.

• Sharp Profile: The slim, tapered shape means it looks clean under jeans or cargo pants for a post-workout transition.

Maintenance

• Spot Clean: Use a damp cloth and cold water for the mesh. Avoid soaking the shoe entirely.

• No Chemicals: Keep harsh soaps away from the midsole foam to prevent it from cracking or hardening.

• Natural Drying: Let them air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the carbon plate.

• Freshen Up: Pull out the perforated insoles after long sessions to let the interior air out.
