Airlock AL-01 in the selected colourway

Light. Low. Loud.

AL-01 by the numbers

212g

Weight · US 9

Lighter than your phone. Every gram you do not lift is a gram you do not carry at km 38.

8mm

Heel-to-toe drop

Low enough to land midfoot, high enough to save your calves on the long ones.

38mm

Stack height · heel

Right under the 40 mm race limit. All of it is foam that gives back.

1plate

Full-length carbon

One spoon-shaped plate, heel to toe. It stores the landing and hands it back on toe-off.

Exploded view

Four layers.
Zero dead weight.

Every AL-01 is four parts glued by hand in a 12-person workshop. Nothing else is in there.

01

Upper

A one-piece knit that fits like a sock. No tongue to slide, no seams to rub at km 30.

Before you queue

Questions.

Can I return them?

Yes. Run in them for 30 days. If they are not for you, send them back free, even worn. Up to 50 km on the clock is fine. Refunds land in 5 working days.

How do they fit?

True to size for most feet. Between two sizes, go half a size up. Wide feet: go half up and take out the thin insole spacer that ships in the box. Exchanges for another size are free while stock lasts.

How does the drop work?

The shop opens Friday at 10:00 CET. Everyone who is in the queue at 10:00 gets a random place, so there is no point refreshing at 09:59. One pair per person, checked by address and card.

When does it ship?

Every pair ships the Monday after the drop, from our workshop. Free shipping in the EU and UK, tracked, 2 to 4 days.

Will Siren come back?

No. Every colour is made once. When the 2,000 pairs are gone, they are gone.
