Walking 10 miles a day with my Nimbus 25, would you recommend the SB2 for someone that wants comfort for the long run?

Eeey!! Do you know if this model runs small?

I’m still torn between vaporfly 3 or asics magic speed 4 for my speed session, any suggestions? (I’m currently rocking pegasus 38 & novablast 3 for dailies)

Can you do a background show tour? I’d love to see your arsenal!

Hello, magic speed 4 its true to size? Its narrow?

Does it bother anyone that Nike went with 4 spikes vs. 6? I saw lots of Olympians slip, especially in the steeplechase which speaks to lack of traction in wet conditions.

I am normally a Saucony Endorphin guy and have just tried these Asics on a demo day. They are plusher than Endorphin Speed or Pro and were generally very comfortable at a half-marathon distance except for one problem. The heel counter of Asics Magic Speed started digging into my achilles at about 10 miles and was feeling worse with every step. When I looked at them side-by-side with my first-gen Endorphin Pro after the run, I realized the top of the Sauconys heel counter curves slightly away from the heel, while the Asics heel counter doesn’t. Unfortunately it makes a lot of difference for me. Can’t use them.

I need a version of this for the Victory

This is awesome!

Excelent video

Under rated you deserve LOTS of more views

Do you think this would be viable for cross country given the fact that there are non removable spikes?

Good well made video

nike just released them in the electric colorway

What’s the difference between dragonfly 2 and dragonfly 2 elite electric?

To be honest, I wish the Dragonfly 2 had a carbon fiber plate from the beginning along with removable pins. That would give Nike a single distance spike that they could use for the general public and their elite athletes. The carbon fiber plate would also give it the aggressiveness to work well in the 800 and 1500 as well as the 3k, 5k, and 10k, negating the need for the Air Zoom Victory.

i had a super handful of run on this shoe I bought these shoes and used them for the first time in a race the very next day. I broke them in during the race, and they were bouncy, responsive, and propulsive. They can handle both slow and easy runs. I tried them on a 32km race, and throughout the run, I felt protected. They supported my high arch well during the entire race. Even when I encountered uneven terrain, including unmetalled roads (also known as gravel roads or dirt roads), they felt protective. The bounce protected my legs, calves, and other parts of my body

The previous metaspeed edge + is now cheaper than the magic speed 4, which would you opt for?

Anyone recommend an asics shoe suitable for a marathon?

I think they are making shoes for sprinters to train in

Great review, thanks for making it. I ordered these as my first carbon shoes after being a Novablast guy for quite a while. I look forward to running in these as well.

Great review and comparisons! I have really been enjoying the magic speed 4.

Thanks for the review.I tried them on in a shoe store only. They felt snappy and comfortable with that extra cushion. I just didn't know if it was the tempo shoe I am looking for. Looking forward to your long term review.

Great in-depth review and good to compare against other shoes. I am now convinced to get them as my new speed day training shoe.

Fit comments makes no sense, you would never need to half size down, these are very fitted. I have a 12, wear a 12 in everything and these are tight in the toebox for length. Same comments from many on the asics website.

Where can I get these I can’t find them

Interesting. I assume it is very stiff now with a Carbon plate rather than the plastic one?

Very informative review and comparisons!

I have recently gotten a reworked version of this shoe, named the Gel-Glyde 3 MX (basically the same shoe with a mesh knit-upper with a door-to-trail sole). It's been really nice, and alongside the Gel-Kayano 28, they are the best shoes I've ever bought thus far.

what size are they

I'm a size 8 in the V1, should I go down half a size in the V2? I also have a wide foot

Surprised your v1’s only have 100 miles in them! it seems like although there are some updates to v2 there aren’t Wow! ones. I’m closing in on 400 miles in my v1’s and they look like they could go for 400 more easy. Neo Vistas are definitely soemthing I’m looking forward to getting 🤩

Buying a do it all shoe doesn’t save money. I never understood that logic. Yes, you only bought 1 pair of shoes. But you’re only going to get 1 pair of shoes’ mileage as well. So you just need more shoes twice as soon

just had my first run in these .. they were great .. i think this is what I was hoping for with the Triumph 22 but those were a let down..

Your review was spot on, although I still think there is a break-in period with V2. It is a bouncer, and it feels higher than V1. The foam is slightly softer, not too crazy, but noticeable still breaking my V2 in, but the lock is secure no need for a runner's knot either. I feel v2 is a little narrower than v1, but just a little bit. I don’t think it’s worth upgrading if your V1 is still good

Hey why do you wear 2 Stryd foot pods? I thought we only needed one?

Eu quero! Me dê papai.

The military and education discount on ASICS website to make the shoe $150 is an absolute steal, makes it easily the best daily trainer on the market with that price tag or even still at 200

Coming in today. 👀

I have the Superblast V1. Even after 100 miles I still find them hard and unsuitable for slow runs.. Minimum tempo pace or you crash every step..

Neo vista has eva. Not peba or tpu even. It does feel great though but i think it might lose its bounce faster than peba foams.

In my experience buying all types of shoes, midsoles that feel "amazing" right out-of-the-box don't last NEARLY as long as shoes that SLOWLY soften up over time. Maybe the Superblast v2 will be the exception since it has so MUCH extra foam. Any loss in resilience could be masked by all the extra mm's able to take up the slack. But in shoes of 'normal' stack ranges, an ultra squishy midsole right-off-the-bat is a bad sign for longevity... like sub 200mi

Not for me! Got the v1 with 50% off. Ain't worth the full price!

Meh, I got the first version, close enough. I'll wait till they make a drastic change to spend my money.

It's not cheaper to buy one shoe instead of 2. You need to look longtime for this calculation. And some people don't mind having 2 shoes for easy runs, 2 shoes for workout runs and 1 shoe for races.

Mine arriving tomorrow 🎉can’t wait. Love V1 and still have pretty significant mileage left, so it would be a good opportunity to compare the two.

How do you compare it to the Hoka Skyward X? I'm using the Skyward as my "everything" shoe these days except race days.

My V2 arrived this week and have been really enjoying the magic speed 4. a little firmer, but a nice change compared to all the other squishy and heavy super trainers out there

mine are in the mail!
