Applies to: Men's Heartbeat-2 / 43

Dual-layer nitrogen-technology midsole: stable, durable, and resistant to performance degradation.

Full-length rolling carbon plate for smooth transitions and rapid acceleration.

6 mm difference between the front and rear heel heights, suitable for long-distance running training.

Liquid anti-slip outsole combines abrasion resistance, grip, and light weight.

A-WEB upper features a large-area mesh design with large openings.

ANTA String Technology: precise wrapping and secure lockdown.

With every heartbeat, we exist; with every run, we surpass.

Inspired by the rhythm of life. On and off the track, with you to record every heartbeat and witness every step forward. Guided by the rhythm of the heartbeat, made for running.

The A-WEB upper uses XIAN FIBER technology and a composite wrap of multiple yarns for a lightweight, resilient, breathable feel and stable support.

Rolling carbon plate: smooth rolling, precise support, and powerful propulsion.

Dual-layer nitrogen technology: stable, durable, and resistant to performance degradation (NITROEDGE).

Liquid anti-slip rubber: suitable for marathon conditions in all weather (A-GRIP Pro).

The midsole uses a secondary molding process.

Good stability, resistance to performance degradation, and durability; suited to training across a range of settings.

Energy rebound rate: 8.4%.

The heel-to-toe drop is 6 mm. Compared with the C202 5th-generation GT, the forefoot is 2 mm thicker, supporting a smoother transition during long-distance running.

Data shown is from an ANTA Sports Science Laboratory sample shoe in men's US size 8. The illustrated forefoot thickness is 27 mm and heel thickness is 33 mm.

The full-length rolling carbon plate has been upgraded, using a rolling-plate concept similar to the C202 5th-generation GT. The lowest point of the plate reaches the thickness limit of the lower-layer foam.

Its new shape and precisely tuned rigidity provide precise medial support underfoot and strong propulsion.

A-GRIP PRO liquid anti-slip rubber outsole. The outsole combines liquid anti-slip rubber with AI-designed tread and layout for abrasion resistance, traction, and light weight.

Designed for all-weather marathon use. Compared with conventional rubber, the C202 Generation 6 outsole material improves dynamic wet grip by 13% and abrasion resistance by 50%.

AI-designed outsole tread further reduces outsole weight. The tread design balances light weight and traction. A-GRIP PRO.

A-WEB breathable upper: large mesh openings enhance airflow, while the dynamic fit provides greater stability.

Powered by Anta Xuan technology: precise wrapping and a secure fit.

ANTA Running C202 Generation 6: an all-scenario carbon-plated running shoe, suitable for a full marathon time of 4 hours 30 minutes.

Marathon carbon-plated running shoes.

A classic colorway returns to the Anta racing family.

Continuing the design language of the first two generations, the design retains its theme colors and uses an ancient-cloud-pattern shape to reinterpret Anta’s “emerging from the clouds into sunlight” running spirit.

Fear neither wind nor rain; enjoy running freely.

The flowing cloud pattern aligns with the direction of the actual logo, evoking a marathon runner’s steady acceleration during a race and unwavering pursuit of the sun and moon.

The C202 lettering on the insole is accented in orange and gold to evoke the radiance of the sun and moon.

Outsole detail: a color-scheme logo inspired by “parting the clouds to reveal the sun and moon.”

The heel is accented with a sun/moon logo.

The NITROEDGE dual-density technology midsole uses advanced midsole material.

Energy return rate: 84%.

The midsole uses a secondary molding process for stability, resistance to fatigue and durability, and is suited to training across a range of settings.

Forefoot height: 27 mm; heel height: 33 mm. Compared with the C202 5th-generation GT, the forefoot is 2 mm thicker, which is more conducive to long-distance running and provides a smooth transition. Data provided by the Anta Sports Science Laboratory; test shoe: men’s US size 8.

Features a C2025-generation GT-concept rolling carbon plate. The plate’s lowest point reaches the thickness limit of the lower foam layer.

Precisely tuned with a new shape and rigidity, it provides precise medial support underfoot and strong propulsion.

The outsole uses liquid anti-slip rubber with an AI-designed tread pattern and layout. Designed for marathon conditions in all weather, it offers grip, a lightweight feel, abrasion resistance and slip resistance.

Compared with conventional rubber, the C202-generation outsole material improves dynamic wet slip resistance by 13% and abrasion resistance by 50%. Data source: Anta Sports Science Laboratory material performance data.

The upper uses Anta A-WEB technology for breathability and heat dissipation. The C202 series introduces XIANFIBER technology in the upper, increasing its strength and wrap.

The A-WEB breathable elastic textile upper uses a large-area mesh design to improve breathability and heat dissipation during long-distance running and training. Its elasticity is improved over the previous generation for a closer fit to the foot.

Enhanced by Anta’s string technology: precise wrapping, secure locking, and greater adaptability.

The upper is further reinforced with technology. Stronger filaments precisely and securely lock the ankle, helping reduce slippage and black toenails for confident training.

Size Selection

Measurements are in centimeters (cm).

How to Measure Foot Length

Stand on a sheet of paper and mark the furthest points at the front and back of the foot. The distance between the two points is the correct foot length.

Tips

If your feet differ slightly in size, use the measurement of the larger foot when choosing a shoe size. If you have a high instep or wide foot, consider choosing one size larger; if you have a low instep or narrow foot, choose the standard size. The measured size should be similar to your usual size. A large discrepancy may indicate an incorrect measuring method or imprecise data.
