Skechers GOrun OG Hyper Review

 

     The Skechers GOrun is technically on its 8th iteration as the 7+ (REVIEW). The original came during an interesting transitional time in the footwear world. It was a minimal trainer/racer with an anatomical but secure fit and a unique sole design to (supposedly) promote a different foot strike pattern. While we know a great deal more about footstrike patterns and what is/isn't important now, the original GOrun was the beginning of the fantastic line of Skechers Performance shoes you see today. In honor of the shoe that started it all, Skechers has redone it with a new Hyperburst midsole to bring a new twist on a classic shoe.

Skechers GOrun Razor + Hyper Review

    Following the success of the GOrun Razor 3 Hyper, Skechers aims to improve on what it has already built with the Razor line. The Skechers GOrun Razor + delivers with new features including an entirely new upper and full length Goodyear rubber for an outsole. The shoe builds and expands on the beloved training companion for many with a shoe that is able to take it fast and slow day in and day out with a shift to a slightly more daily training favoring Razor.

Newton Distance S 9 Multiple Tester Review

    The Distance and the Distance S are among the shoes I have always wanted to try, but never had or taken the opportunity. As someone who loves light stability shoes and racing shoes, I am a bit embarrassed that it took me this long to try the Distance S finally at version 9. A slowly narrowing category, this shoe is a unique one in regards to both stability as well as speed. I am excited the Distance S continues its legacy and think it is a great tool worth talking about!

Nike Air Zoom Alphafly NEXT% Review
By Contributor David Salas

The Nike Alpha Fly Next% is finally on the market after some debate on legality for competing. After the sub 2 hour marathon effort from Eliud Kipchoge in the original Alphafly footwear began to go under much more scrutiny. The remaining rules (to my knowledge): a limit of 40mm stack height and 1 plate. This shoe fits the bill and is the new racing shoe seen on the feet of athletes like Eliud Kipchoge, Galen Rupp, and Jakob Ingebrigtsen. Is it worth the hype? Let's take a look.
