Reebok OSR Harmony Racer Review

When I was working in running retail stores years ago, Reebok was a bit of a myth/legend.  They were not selling true running shoes in specialty retail, yet many of the older retired elite runners I worked with spoke of how good they used to be.  ZAP Fitness was around and glimpses were seen of true running shoes on the feet of those elite, but for the rest of us?  Nothing.  Then things changed in the last few years.  A huge push was made (successfully in my mind) into the CrossFit market.  Then... finally.. a return to running.  I have not yet run fully in the Float Ride run, but having put them on was very interested in their new midsole material.  I have a pair Harmony Road 2 I am working on, but as always, the racing flat was what caught my interest most.  The OSR Harmony Racer.  I love racing flats, and these are no different.  A effective, fast but no BS ride that will race a variety of distances.  Let's talk about this shoe.

361 Chaser 2 Initial Review

The original Chaser from 361 was an interesting shoe (REVIEW).  Upon try on, I felt that it was far too heavy for a short distance racer and that it MIGHT work as a long distance racer.  Then I used it for a 5k and was able to drop a 15:40 while not in good shape.  I was impressed but still felt the shoe was too bulky.  And finally along came the Chaser 2.  This is the racer I have been waiting for from 361.  Finally they have a lighter weight racing shoe that to actually differentiate itself from the KgM2 2 (REVIEW) .  How does it do that?  Let's talk.

    I know, I know, the Brooks Asteria has been out for a couple of years….but it hasn’t changed yet and it is a shoe that has many features that many people will like.  It was almost a year ago when my colleague Matt gave a short review of this shoe (only one or two runs in the shoe).  Here I will dive in with a full review and give you all the nitty gritty details about this uptempo/racer from Brooks Running.
