ANTA C10 PRO Elite Marathon Racing Shoes - "The Bekele Racer"

The ANTA C10 PRO was worn by Chen Tianyu to victory at the Beijing Marathon, and Kenenisa Bekele wore it to a personal best at the Valencia Marathon. In its first year, athletes wearing the C10 PRO stood on the podium 145 times. This is not marketing — this is race-day performance validated at the highest level of the sport. The C10 PRO was developed from ANTA's track spike design for sprint athletes. As sprint-adjacent race pace demands increased among elite marathon runners, ANTA evolved the shoe for road marathon use — retaining the forefoot-dominant geometry while adding a minimal heel structure. The heel contact area remains extremely small by design, making this a shoe exclusively for forefoot strikers targeting sub-2:30.
