Sure, weve seen the same leaks on Instagram that you probably have, but no insider information here. (M), 9.5 oz. Finally, a shoe that we know quite a lot about. We flat-out hated the OG Hyperion Elite, it was one of the worst shoes we ever reviewed, but we got along swimmingly with its successor, the Hyperion Elite 2. Of course, that award went to the Metaspeed Sky, which we called the best non-Nike racing experience around. Over a dozen runs in the MetaSpeed Sky, I found it to feeland even soundquite a lot like the Vaporfly. Price: 190/$200 | Weight: 213G/7.5oz | Drop: 8mm.

Or use the Paradigm 6 as an everyday shoe like Altra-sponsored athlete Kara Goucher, who says she wears it for 70 percent of her workouts. Is there anything tougher to get your hands on than a Puma shoe these days?

To show off its versatility again, on the same day as one of those 5Ks Nick took the Speed out for an hour-long recovery run. We already loved the light weight and explosive rebound of the first three Machs. The outsole, however, is built to tackle technical terrain. Brooks is also transitioning to sustainable manufacturing and shipping, and recycling used shoes instead of dumping them in landfills. I couldnt tie the shoe as tight as I wanted, said a tester. Nick picked up the biggest win of his life at the London Landmarks Half in the RC Elite 2, so it will forever be close to his heart. When we initially ran in it a year ago, the Carbon X had us going fast over mid- to long-distance runs. Unfortunately, well have to wait until nearly the end of 2022 to get the More v4 laced up. The Guide has plush padding in the heel collar and gusseted tongue. The big midsole stack of FreshFoam X is slightly firmer than some big-cushioned shoes but strikes a great balance between soft landings and energy-saving response. The forefoot and toebox are wide and a little stretchy, spacious but not sloppy. If I raced a marathon or less, Id go with the Saucony Endorphin Pro, said a heel-striking tester.
That sensation comes from the lighter, bouncier FlyteFoam Blast midsole, which has allowed Asics to alter its conventional construction techniques. Its the speed-training counterpart to Hokas daily workhorse, the Clifton (the Rincon is almost 2 ounces lighter than the Clifton), making it ideal for tempo runs and track sessions. Theyre plush, roomy and flexible, though at a heavier 302g, these are best laced up for slower miles and those exploratory ambles where youre running with little time-focussed intent.

The Saucony Endorphin Speed 2 is by far our most talked-about shoe of 2021, much like the Speed was before it. It has a firmer, more stable ride than many super shoes, but the combination of Sauconys PEBA PWRRUN PB midsole and a full-length carbon plate still makes for a propulsive feel, with the Speedroll tech in the midsole helping to produce an efficient ride. Underfoot, Saucony peeled off the TPU bead-based topsole and instead used it for the sockliner. We loved racing in it, and so did ASICS athletes there were plenty of new PRs set in the Metaspeed Sky.
