SCARPA Spin Ultra 2
The Spin Ultra was SCARPA's most popular and ubiquitous shoe model for several years running - pun intended - so they decided to one-up themselves with the Spin Ultra 2! They've lightened up this version and used more eco-friendly materials to stay in line with the times, adding multiple upgrades along the way. The Spin Ultra 2 now features a more aggressive tread, deeper lugs, 3D-printed reinforcements, Super Critical TPEE foam, and new, grippier rubber underfoot. Added rocker and a lower drop compliment your natural stride, quickening your turnover. The Spin Ultra 2 will be great for everyday training or a shoo-in for your next 100-miler.
SkyRun Fit Tip - The Spin Ultra 2 fits true to your measured European size.
- Stalwart Vibram Megagrip for traction.
- Recycled and Bio-based materials are put to good use.
- Breathable upper with form-fitting, bio-based print overlays on your instep.
- Zone-specific lug design covers your braking and acceleration.
- Lower drop for quicker turnover.

Questions & Reviews
I think in some ways, it is! I examined all three shoes next to each other, and the Spin Ultra 2 does seem to parallel the design of the Spin Planet (I think more than the Spin Ultra). The toe box of the Spin Ultra 2 resembles the Spin Planet more than the older Spin Ultra (it's more tapered), as does the tongue. The midsole of the Spin Ultra 2 is also shaped more like the Spin Planet underfoot, rather than the original Spin Ultra, which pinches in more under the arch.
Overall, they are still distinct shoes, but I do think that the new Spin Ultra 2 has inherited many of the positive traits of the Spin Planet! It's just a bit lighter, the upper is softer and more flexible, and the foam is different (and should be bouncier and more responsive).
The Spin Ultra 2 is slated to ship out on the 1st of April. If you select "notify me" near the top of the page, you will get an email as soon as we get them in.
