Fastest Running Shoes, the Battle for Number One

  • March 1, 2020
View Post

Still finding ourselves to be huge fans of @skechers Hyperburst and the new Razor Excess is no exception. Again, really simple design, but highly functional and the shoe is still really quick. It runs like a speed shoe, but is comfortable enough for every day. If you’re interested in jumping in on the Skechers bandwagon just to see what it’s all about, this shoe is probably one of the best they’ve had to do that with. Thanks as always to Skechers for the chance to review the shoe in advance.
It was a beautiful day here in PDX and a @361usa Fierce day. Materials-wise this is one of the best shoes from 361 we have seen and the QuikSpring+ midsole is definitely responsive. It is just under 10oz and has 24mm of cushion and while it performs well, we would love to see it go one of two ways. First, if they choose to keep it at the same stack height, it could lose some weight and be a solid speed shoe. However, we’d love to see it gain about 5-6mm of cushion and hold this weight as we think it could be a fast distance runner.  
So much goodness for today’s long run Sunday from the Bollé glasses to the Naked HC Vest to the Tracksmith apparel, but it’s hard to top the upcoming @newbalance Fresh Foam More v3. This shoe has been a revelation and just light years better than last years model. There is just something about this Fresh Foam build that works so well, something to definitely check out when they release.  
It truly boggles our mind why @adidas would make a majority of the Ultraboost 21 line in lighter color ways especially this time of year and note this is post a rainy run today. After putting even more miles on these today, it is clear the Ultraboost 21 really sits better in the style category. Well there is a lot of additional Boost here and the upper feels great, they are truly just really overweight. Now weight can be debatable, but here they are 3 to 4 ounces heavier than the closest competitor. Adidas has to find a way to bring this down or perhaps we really all just need to see this as a more style centric offering.  So we’re curious if everyone is pro or con the all white shoe trend?
The new @puma NITRO lineup is ushering in a whole new era of road running for PUMa and the Velocity NITRO is an amazing shoe to start with. Really solid underfoot feel with plenty of pop, an outsole that features tremendous grip even in our rainy weather, and very comfortable upper. The forefoot may not be wide enough for every foot, but when it works... it really works.  
The new @altrarunning Provision 5 is a really clever spin on mid-foot stability and works really well for easy runs. The underfoot is soft and supportive and the upper is as roomy as you’d expect.
