Ran 10 miles this AM in the Rebel v4 that included 4,000m of intervals (200’s, 400’s, 600’s). The 4 mile warm up was about 10 minute/mile and the intervals ranged 5:15-6:30 mile pace. Happy feet throughout. I’ll probably pick up a second pair later this summer—hopefully there’s a fire colorway TBA.
You know, my guess is the SB2 will initially feel like a SB with 75+ miles—similar comfort and stability but perhaps a bit more bounce/response. Also, I wonder if its longevity will be less than the SB. My first pair of SB has 400+ miles and I’m just now starting to notice a bit of instability...
Fair enough but they lost me, at least partially, after the ER and Turbo. I came from New Balance, and left with only the VF, until the INV3. It’s why I tried, and liked, other brands. It’s why my current rotation also includes the Superblast and Rebel V4. If they/I had stayed with ER/Turbo...
Yep I’m a fan of the VF and INV3 and really enjoyed the ER and Turbo. But the ER was essentially discontinued after V2 and likewise for the Turbo. Why? The INV 1 & 2 were wildly popular but then Nike redesigned it completely. Why? Honestly, I just think they’re trying too hard to keep everything...
Yeah I agree but I’d argue that Nike seems—to me at least—to focus more on style than substance. I mean, it’s almost as if they design a shoe to look fresh and then hope it works out functionally.
I don’t know, but the SB OG CW started the line right but it’s kind of gone downhill since, IMO. My last 2 pairs have been chosen by which CW (available in my size) do I dislike the least.

FYI, no picture—either mine or online—accurately depicts this colorway. IRL it’s more *hot punch* than red. It’s bright. I’ll definitely be visible on the road, lol.
