The Enigma is a new shoe aimed at runners looking for high mileage cushioning. The upper is open stretch mesh, and a secure midfoot saddle that along with the DynaMotion Fit (articulated top eyelet to improve the ankle fit) secures the foot while moving with it. The sueded overlays are soft against the foot but still provide great support. The midsole is a multipart combination of AP+ with a cushy feel to it, and a full-length parallel wave plate that is snappy and responsive – some testers found it just a bit stiff, but it is responsive. The outersole is standard proprietary X-10, tough carbon rubber heel, and the forefoot is blown rubber. The bottom line is the Enigma is a shoe with a performance chassis that has the cushioning to handle the road.
