Great shoe, nice cushioning without being too heavy. A bit expensive.

Overall

My overall favorite running shoe of all time. Amazing range from easy days to long runs even to k reps. Not the fastest shoe, wouldn’t take it under 65 400 pace and it can get a little hot on hot days but overall amazing shoe.
