The updated @newbalance 1080v12 truly feels like a luxury running experience. The knit upper is plush and comfortable, coupled with enough stability support to@keep you in place. The Fresh Foam X midsole provides plenty of cushion. While they lack the responsive feeling of other NB shoes like the Rebel v2 and are a tad heavy, these are an incredibly capable shoe that most will find enjoyable for easy rolling miles.
Beautiful Sunday afternoon run in the new @newbalance SuperComp Pacer. This lightweight (barely 7oz) carbon plated shoe has slightly less cushioning from the Trainer model which makes this a perfect shoe for low mileage racing. Hard to tell how necessary that plate is, but it’s not hurting anything so we’ll take it.
If you are looking for a pretty indestructible daily runner @newbalance 880 for nice slow days then look no further than the latest update. The 880v12 brings an updated look but sticks to a time tested recipe.
The @asics GlideRide 3 is so much better than the 2 in our opinion. The upper update while seemingly minor just fits really well and with FFBast+ in the midsole… plenty of cushion and a nice rolling turnover makes for a nice distance trainer.
The @skechers Razor Excess 2 is a really solid update to what was already a great shoe. The Hyperburst midsole remains one of the best on the market and the addition of a plate on these, makes them even more fun.
Been putting miles on the new @on_running Cloudvista and while it’s billed as a trail shoe, we’d call it more of a hybrid that can handle road, gravel, and hard pack as well. It definitely isn’t as soft as the Cloudmonster (we’d love to see that though) but still has plenty of under foot protection when it gets rough underfoot.
