Same here. It's like the arch is too high for me or something.

Thanks for the heads up. I think I'm going to pick up some turbos for a hundred.

Update on the Legend Reacts. I've put a 120 on them and looks like the right shoe is wearing two holes in the upper. One on the side and one on the toe.

I stand by the good things I said about them but I might wait for the second version with a better upper. The sole is still money..

I’m tempted to try Nike again after my Skechers GR 600s or NB 1080s give out. NBs have about 350 on them so their time is coming.

I like the GRs fine but they’re just not anything I’m in love with like the razors.

I'm on the fence on whether I buy the same color I currently have or go different. Damn Nike and their sale.

Nike Epic React Flyknit

Retail: $150

Paid: $75ish plus accessories 95ish total

It's a frickin fashion shoe disguiesed as a running shoe al la OG Zoomfly SP or Zoom Fly.

My review...





Shoes: 75.00
Ointment: 5.00
Large Adhesive bandages: 2.50
Self adhesive wrap tape: 2.50
Tegaderm: 10.00

Total: 95.00

Heel has a leather cup in the flyknit I didn't notice. Real nice. Don't bother.

How many of you Chewbaccas are champing at the bit to get the Nike Next%? Dropping this summer baws; only 275. Too cheap if you ask me.

I think 5% coming soon. These look like the 4% elites with the lighter upper

The Next% is the 5%. Nike said the results were not conclusive enough to name it 5%.

I present to you the Nike Legend React @ 213 miles.



I guess I got about 55 dollars worth.

Yeah, so far I’ve only had one pair of Nikes pan out after praising them a while back. (Zoom Fly FK) They might make a few fast shoes, but they don’t last worth a shite.

Now I have to run in my Epic Reacts. It’s a real treat since I have to wrap my feet completely to do so.

Ordered a pair of Brooks Launch on Saturday that have yet to ship. Bad luck with shoes lately.

Just think of yourself as our guinea pig. You let us know what’s worthwhile and what’s not by going through shoes faster.

ETA. I like the launch. Little less shoe than the GoAT Ghost, but better for your paces I would wager.

How many miles are y'all getting out of the OG Altra Escalante? I'm at 200 and the last couple of runs it didn't feel like the responsiveness was there, no real pop. Could be any number of factors, but just curious how much mileage is typical on a pair.
