ASICS HYPERSPRINT 8 · Unisex Short-Distance Spike
Crisp contrast for explosive speed
The unisex ASICS HYPERSPRINT 8 in White/Cobalt Burst combines a clean white upper with vivid blue energy. Built for short-distance track racing, it pairs a propulsive resin plate with five spikes for confidence during starts, acceleration, and top-end speed.
Designed for short-distance speed
The HYPERSPRINT 8 is intended for novice through experienced sprinters. Its 4 mm drop and approximately 5.9 oz (168 g) build create a close, quick feel, while an EVA sockliner adds flexible step-in support without turning the shoe into a cushioned trainer.
White/Cobalt Burst delivers a clean, high-contrast appearance that reads fast even before the gun. Reserve this spike for synthetic track surfaces, and confirm the permitted pin type and length with your school, meet, or facility before use.

Fit notes
This is a unisex spike in standard width. Sprint footwear is designed to fit closely for control and often feels more tapered and rigid than a road-running shoe. Use the product's size selector and ASICS size chart to match your foot length and preferred race fit.
