New Balance 1500v5 Review

New Balance 1500v5 Review

The New Balance 1500, now on version 5, has been a stable stability racing shoe for many years now.  Having run in the original, little has changed in the concept of this shoe.  The 1500v5 retains a similar midsole with a medial post, T-Beam and RevLite foam.  The upper has evolved over the years to the now sleek and awesome looking mesh.  As one of the few stability racing/lightweight training shoes still on the market, let's discuss whether you should give this one a try.

The Adidas Adizero RC is not the same Adizero RC seen years ago.  This is a Japan, Asia and Europe Adidas Racing flat that is a replacement for the long lost Adizero Rocket.  The RC is not an evolution of the Adidas Aerobounce PR, but a completely separate shoe with inspiration from the Hagio, Rocket and the many predecessors.  A versatile racing and minimal training shoe, let's talk more about a shoe that should be more available in the US.

Adidas Adizero Bekoji Review

Adidas Adizero Bekoji Review

Bekoji is a town in Ethiopia know for producing some of the fastest distance runners in the world.  The Adidas Adizero Bekoji is named in honor of this town and is a Asian market only racing flat.  I was unaware of this until I heard about some Adidas elite runners testing it.  As with many racing flats, the Bekoji was not brought to the US, but debuted in Asia, where runners are known to train and race in far lighter and faster shoes than their US counterparts.  A new mesh upper, a Bounce midsole and a Japan specific fit make this a unique and fast racer.  Let's talk more about why you might want to check out this shoe.
