Firm support

4/5

Overall

A good supportive every day trainer. I would say it's a firmer show but still well cushioned. Zoom air bag in the forefoot makes the forefoot feel responsive, while the heel feels flat. Upper could be a bit more comfortable, I think they may have made improvements here in the newer 21 model.

I have had 4 pairs of this shoe and have been satisfied with them. I ran about 600 miles on each pair and now use an old pair for work.

Works well for daily training even at high volume. Wears out after a decent amount of running (600ish miles). Don't look amazing but do the job.

Enjoyable Shoe

4/5

Overall

I wore this shoe for much of my cross country season this past fall for easy days and long run. I put upwards of 600 mile in them and they still felt very comfortable and supportive. The upper held up well and maintained a satisfying lock down. The only issue I have is that there are so many places in the shoe where the weight could be decreased and suffer no draw backs of comfort, durability or reliability. I switch between Nike and Brooks most of the time because I enjoy both the Air Zoom and the DNA midsoles. I have gotten another pair of these structures for my track season and so far so good.
