Pros

  • Three reviewers call it comfortable and supportive for everyday easy runs, one of them finding more arch support than in the Pegasus 40.
  • Two reviewers call it durable, one citing the amount of rubber on the outsole.

Cons

  • Averaging 11.2 oz across the men's and women's builds, it is heavier than the 8.9 oz median for daily trainers for sale, and one reviewer calls it a bit heavy.
  • It lists at $159, above the $150 median for daily trainers for sale, and value averages 4.0 out of 5 across twenty-two reviews.
  • Durability averages 3.8 out of 5, and one reviewer finds the stretchy upper makes it run smaller than other Nike trainers.

A bit under the radar but solid cushioned shoe

3/5

Overall

Not max cushion but firm but bouncy foam is good for everyday easy runs, with incredible durability and a lot of rubber. A bit heavy but that doesn’t matter too much

These have been a great addition to my rotation. They are more supportive than the Invincibles, but don't have quite the same bouncy underfoot feel.
