JUNE 3, 2026 → WORDS ADRIÁN GOMIS EXPÓSITO

CEP is taking its footwear innovation to the next level with the launch of the Optaspeed BowTech, the latest evolution of its performance-driven running shoe lineup. Building on the success of the Omnispeed BowTech, introduced in 2025, the new model combines CEP’s patented BowTech technology with enhanced comfort, refined fit, and greater versatility for ambitious runners. Designed for speed-focused training sessions such as tempo runs, intervals, progression workouts, and longer steady efforts, the Optaspeed BowTech delivers a powerful combination of energy return, stability, and efficiency. The shoe’s signature BowTech plate construction supports a more effective running gait while helping athletes maintain performance even as fatigue sets in, making it an ideal choice for both training and race preparation.

Beyond performance, CEP has introduced a series of targeted upgrades to improve the overall running experience. A roomier forefoot, redesigned heel construction, and optimized fit provide greater comfort over long distances, while extended laces allow for a more secure marathon-style lockdown. The updated upper features a denser structure, a modern aesthetic, and a reflective CEP logo for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions. Available in White, Black, Neon Coral, and Lime, the Optaspeed BowTech reflects CEP’s commitment to combining medical expertise, biomechanical research, and athlete feedback. Guided by the brand’s “Run Better” philosophy, the new model embodies more than 70 years of innovation, offering runners a shoe that balances speed, stability, and comfort in every stride.
