The Skechers GOrun Speed Elite Hyper is designed to compete with the highest tier of technical running gear in the market. It features a unique patent-pending infused carbon fiber polymer winglet plate that makes the Speed Elite Hyper one of the lightest, fastest, most authentic racers in this category. Developed through biomechanical testing and insights from elite athletes, the winglet plate is designed to help runners transmit power to the ground with reduced energy loss, for improved running economy.

The Speed Elite Hyper is the latest in a collection of running styles from Skechers that feature an innovative Hyper Burst midsole, which is made using a "super critical" foaming process to create spherically-shaped cells in tight format. It is the lightest and most resilient midsole foam that Skechers Performance has offered to date. The unique irregular cell structure is unlike most other EVA foams on the market today. The shoe also includes Goodyear Rubber Technology on a portion of the outsole for enhanced grip, stability and durability.
