I think we're getting close to the limits in price of what's acceptable between what a 'daily trainer' costs vs. what a 'super trainer' costs. These prices getting so high you might as well just go for broke at this point.

Novablast 6 listing up. Preorder starts June 8th, $155 on Asics dot com. Out July 1st
FF Blast Max (Novablast 5 foam) full length with FF Turbo Squared (Megablast foam) forefoot core.
The price point is THE BIGGEST reason why everyone thinks that the Pegasus is trash now. If it was at $110-120 retail like it was years ago with most of the 30's, it would be perceived way differently. Sure I get inflation, but $145 now is just crazy for what the shoe is.
I love the pegasus...

Asics gets a lot of flack for their ridiculous names and the...
Never honestly thought of the EVO SL as a super trainer given I always think of super trainers as the Superblast, huge max stack trainers with no plate. But I think people are describing super trainers as versatile daily trainers now. I think the EVO SL is closer to the Novablast than the...
btw Asics's new shoe samples allegedly have gel that feel like an air unit
It's just speculation but I'm kinda excited to potentially see how they're gonna cook up some sort of gel to act like a forefoot zoom air unit. Old gel does pretty much nothing so I'm excited to see if asics can...
Fit definitely changed. I had a pair of EVO SL when it first started to come out around January 2025 and I had no toe issues going TTS, and then grabbed another pair in May and TTS destroyed my toes. I was tempted to grab a another pair of EVO SLs when it was on sale for $90 a few days ago but...
Zoom air would literally make the pegasus plus actually interesting. IMO, the worst shoe out of all of the new three Nike silos has been the Pegasus Plus. (I've only not tried the new Structure but I will soon). Although the Peg Premium isn't the best, its at least an interesting shoe that's...
