Word of caution: I’ve got about 40 miles (65k) in the v2 and the foam is much much softer. So the ride is unstable although the energy return is greater. It’s faster but not as stable. I think I might prefer v1 - but ultimately will decide once I get to 100 miles in v2. Might want to wait on v2
I subscribed due only to the great SJD impression. Keep it up! “Um let’s see (looks at ceiling while sticking two fingers in shoe) … yep, semi-gusseted tongue… butter my bread!”
I did a video that I linked at the end of this one comparing speed 3, Novablast 3 and Rebel v3. I just bought a 2nd pair of rebel v3 for 60 dollars on Joes new balance warehouse something or other. The first pair I got for $83 at running warehouse. I would look for a discounted Rebel first. It is a great compliment to sc trainer- light, lower stack, still juicy fuel cell foam. I like to alternate different stack heights and drops for my weak calves 😂
New sub! Enjoyed that SJD bit at the end. Maybe you should get your own “shoe-dio” also. Loved the SC v1’s… doubling-up as we got a massive discount here in Canada for those. (Like 79.99CAD)
That’s an amazing price point for that shoe! I share the office with my wife so I’m not sure she’d be into a shoe wall. Maybe a shed turned studio at 10k subscribers. Next video is the sjd tribute so hopefully you will enjoy that as well
It’s still a great foam. I use v1 to walk in as well. However, v2 feels different since the heel is lower, the drop is more shallow and there is slightly less ground contact in the forefoot- more bouncy up front than v1. And while v2 is more nimble and peppy overall with the same great foam, I prefer v1 for casual wear protection of feet (prefer v2 for looks )
Thanks for the early review, it seems that the v2 is a nice upgrade, at least for me. I have had my issues with v1's upper, mainly the fit with heel slipping, even when I tighten it a lot, the more conventional upper is more to my liking. Having said that, I am now at 365km (226mi) in the v1 and no matter what, I am going to get my money's worth.
Love it! I’m working my way slowly through a few shoes, even though I got them on the budget friendly side of things…I WILL get my money’s worth . The v1 I think I will get to 500 eventually
Thanks 🙏🏼 Bill! Yes, I think v2 is going to have a lot more use cases. I don’t normally like to pay 180 for a shoe - but this one will rack up a ton of mileage and I can use it for so many things
Subscribed and liked! Love you video's, glad I found your channel! Do you wear the same size in the SC trainer V1 as you do in your Rebel V3? Love my Rebels but the SC trainer is on sale and would complement well!
Hey Brian! Thanks for the like & sub. The drop tomorrow is a fun one. That's a great question - for the Rebel V3 I wear a size 9.5 (US) and for the SC Trainer, I wear my normal size 9 (also still US). They both fit perfect at these different sizes and it has mostly to do with the Rebel V3 being a little snug up front. They expanded the toe box on the width, which I like, but the length is still tight in my humble opinion
I just bought a pair the other day, they are amazing. The salesman at my local running store said they are actually the V3…I have been out of the loop with NB for awhile, have you heard this?
I haven’t but the ELITE V3 just went on sale so I picked up a pair and will run in them next week. As I discuss and review the shoe, I will likely compare it and contrast it with sc trainer v2 and see the difference or if it is too similar
Yeah, this next video is a tribute and more of paying homage to SJD than it is picking on him. I thought it was fitting since I only bought the trinoosa because of him (and it was 50 dollars
@@MidLifeRunner Cool, no offense taken. Another ism’s of his I notice is when he says “right there, right there” lol. Trinoosa is definitely one I’m curious about and sounds like an excellent price for it. I actually see the Adidas Adizero SL for $36, have you kept using that shoe at all? I know it takes awhile to soften up on the midsole.
@@josenaveo588 no i ended up returning it because I already had adios 6. I have a couple of firm shoes I’m running through . Vomero 16- I think I will review after tri Noosa

New balance sc trainer v2 vs sc elite v3 which one for daily normal running 30 min on treadmill and for walking and daily wearing casually which one should i go in my country they are both at kind of same price
I would not recommend either for daily walking because the foam is too soft in both and will give my ankles and shins problems. They ache the next day . Good for 30 min runs etc
I really enjoyed the V1, but my issue was I never got comfortable with the upper, I always felt like if I turned to quickly it would rip, this upper seams more durable so hopefully I don’t have that fear and I can truly enjoy it
@@the1curveball not easily. I have not had an issue and I don’t know anyone personally who had an issue . Edd Bud had an issue with his. So, it is rare but I like it because it has some stretch/give. To me, when uppers are too tight is when they rip or tear
Hey I wanted your suggestion/help choosing a shoe. I am flat footed and my feet are wide. I want a pretty durable, comfortable and a shoe which I can have some fast sessions sometimes, mostly I want to run 5Ks and long run kinda stuff in a controlled pace. I want the shoes to last me attest 2-3 years. I have listed 3 of them and could you help me select the best suited for me. 1) RC Elite v2 - £100 2) SuperComp Trainer V1 - £100 3) SuperComp Trainer V2 - £105 Please help me figure out before they go out of stock.
RC Elite v2, I have not run in but v1 and v3 were pretty narrow so I worry it won’t accommodate the wide feet. But I think it’s soft enough and fast enough for long runs and faster work. My #1 recommendation is the sc trainer 1 for durability. It’s more stable than 2. It will last you a long time. I’m near 350 miles in mine and will take it at least 600-700. It’s great for long runs. It’s a bit heavy for 5k but has awesome energy return at that pace. Shorter intervals work better than longer intervals.
@@MidLifeRunner yes thank you for the recommendation brother. I have ordered both SuperComp trainers v1 and v2. Today I have received the v2 since I had already ordered them to try them on and I loved it, since this is my first super shoe. I can’t wait until I get the v1 to try them on and compare them to the v2.
The version 1 gave me plantar fasciitis. Guess I'm gonna skip version 2 as I notice the rocker seems steep as v1. I mean the curve starts to roll too early at the midfoot. Great shoe but not for me.
It’s most similar to the Mach but heavier. I can see it in this rotation as a long run shoe unless you’re legs are strong enough that you use Mach for long runs. I guess it would also depend what distances you like to run. If you’re more of a 5k-10k runner, I’d look for a snappier light weight racer like the Takumi sen. To be honest, This shoe is also 180 and sc elite v3 is on sale for 140. The sc elite can do everything this shoe can do but also is more lightweight and faster.
@@MidLifeRunner appreciate the response. I’m missing part of my meniscus from an injury so knee pain is inevitable, but I’m hoping the SC trainer can help with load or stress on my knee. I’d try those other two options but neither come in a wide sadly, which is why the SC trainer is appealing. I also have the Fuelcell Pacer on the way, I think I’ll enjoy it as I’m used to running in barefoot shoes already. I’ve also tried and liked the Kinvara 14. It didn’t seem to have a solid place when I have the Mach 4/Pegasus though
@@MidLifeRunner I ended up getting these shoes and i LOVE THEM. I'm missing part of my meniscus and felt zero knee pain while running. However, i did feel pain in my toes later in my run from mid-foot strike > rolling/lifting off from my toes. I've never experienced this before. Must be the rocker design + carbon plate that I'm not used to. I also got a pair of Topo Cyclone's on the way to use for training. Super excited for those
I’m at 220 and some of the rubber has worn off the lateral heel, where I get a lot of wear and tear usually. It doesn’t really affect the landing because there is still so much foam
That SJD imitation was 🤣🤣🤣
Great review mate. I'm still using the v1 and I love the shoes. I have 2 pairs actually. I will try v2 soon and let's see what happens. Many thanks.

I’m on my 3rd pair of Rebel V3’s! My absolute favorite. I use the SC Trainer V1’s on recovery days. Will be buying SC Trainer V2 soon.
I got my 2nd pair of rebel v3 from Joe’s NB outlet a couple of weeks ago. I’m also using trainer v1 for recovery and super easy days now.
@@MidLifeRunnergreat deal on them right now in the Kobe color wave 🌊

Hahaha, love the SJD impression! Talking about budget, would you consider picking up Propel v4 and compare it with SC Trainer v2?

How does the outsole compare to V1?
Almost identical . There is added rubber on the forefoot where it was just exposed before . Should add more miles and durability
