ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 Review: The Clouds Are the Limit

My first foray into one of ASICS’ flagship pairs wasn’t until the 25th edition; it was love at first run. At the time, I had never run in such a comfy shoe, both underfoot and with its super-cozy upper. The shoe was a pleasure to run in, and pampered my tired legs during marathon training. But the pair fell out of favor, as more and more max cushion offerings entered the fray over the past couple years. Now that it’s back on my radar—and feet—after a brief hiatus, how has the ride of this max cushion shoe aged?

HOKA Skyflow Review: Better Than the Clifton?

Recently, HOKA shoes like the Clifton and Bondi have transcended the running space to become popular lifestyle shoes. But it’s clear HOKA is positioning the Skyflow as a pair for runners. It’s described by HOKA as a shoe designed to “elevate your daily running practice, and a shoe that “redefines the idea of daily driver.”

If that wasn’t enough evidence, HOKA’s product line manager describes it as a “run-specialty specific model you can only get at run specialty stores.” You hear that, walkers?! Find another shoe to stroll in, lazy sloths!

Brooks Hyperion Max 2 Review: Max Speed Ahead

Typically, the second version of a running shoe is as mundane as completing TPS Reports. There are rarely any significant updates from the first edition. Companies feel compelled to release an update every year, because…money, whether or not they’re actually ready to update the shoe. That’s why it’s usually just a worthless modification to the outsole, or a slight change to the upper. But not with the second version of the Hyperion Max. Find out why it’s quite the opposite, in this Brooks Hyperion Max 2 review.

Saucony Endorphin Speed 4 Review: Best Version Yet?

I’ll never forget the first time I laced up the original Saucony Endorphin Speed, way back in 2020. I had never run in such a fun shoe—a pair that made it seem almost effortless to pick up the pace and encouraged me to commit to speed workouts for the first time in 15+ years of running. It was also the shoe I laced up for my first marathon.

Fast forward four years and three editions later, and the Endorphin Speed 4 hasn’t changed a whole lot—in a good way. I’ve run in versions 1-4, and this might just be my favorite yet. Find out why, in this Saucony Endorphin Speed 4 review.
