Our Verdict
ANTA C202 5 GT
ANTA C202 7
The ANTA C202 7 and ANTA C202 5 GT target different roles despite sharing a performance-oriented DNA. The ANTA C202 7 is a super trainer, offering more cushioning and a more balanced blend of comfort and efficiency that makes it more practical to use for workouts and general faster training sessions without feeling overly specialized. The C202 5 GT is the more race-focused super shoe, feeling lighter, bouncier, and a bit higher stacked, which gives it a more aggressive feel for when the goal is pure efficiency.
