Vanish C

Shadowstep teamed up with Altra Running to produce a fully animated piece showcasing the features of their one-of-a-kind carbon fiber half-plate speed shoe, the Vanish Carbon.

Vibrating with heat and energy, the Vanish C reveals all of its best features before speeding off, leaving the competition in the dust.
