Asics Hyper MD 8

Built for the demands of middle-distance racing, the Asics Hyper MD 8 delivers a fast, controlled feel without the harshness of more aggressive sprint spikes. It’s a go-to option for everything from 400m speed to longer 1500m/1600m efforts, pairing a breathable, stripped-back upper with enough cushioning to stay comfortable through rounds, hard reps, and race-day surges. With a grippy spike plate under the forefoot and a secure, supportive fit, the Hyper MD 8 helps you attack the straights and hold your line on the curves.
