Mach X2 is such a perfect shoe minus that heel many had issues with. It looks now perfect with a better upper, keeping everything else the same and it looks beautiful too. I think Brooks and Hoka are the two brands I'm most excited about at this time. I have the limited release endorphin elite 2 and still unsure what to think. I expect many to be disappointed with the crazy soft midsole that might kill someone lol it's bouncy AF much more so than Puma Magmax but to such a degree the stability with challenge the best of them. Many reviewers seem to be downplaying it IMO since so few have been able to try the shoe yet. It's an interesting and exciting super foam maybe to the degree it's too much bounce for a running shoe!! Perhaps Saucony got too far ahead of themselves thinking this will change the game with IncrediRUN but they might need to learn to tame it some more for the masses. I'm interested to hear more honest feedback on it and see where they go with it as they dropped PWRRUN HG altogether it seems.
Still have a pair! Only worn it once for a 25Km long run. The road was uneven so my experience wasn’t great with it. But I will try it again on solid concrete
Happy Christmas Edd, I'm saving all my Christmas money for the adidas adios pro 4 As I have a new love for Adidas. Nike I feel has vap's and Alpha's and that's it, the rest of the range is boring(my opion) .so looking forward to 2025 to see what you bring us.
Lovely stuff Mr Eddbud. As a fellow Prime X strung enjoyer, I'm very much looking forward to the v3. I've still got a box fresh pair of the first Prime X Strung that I'm saving for when the weather clears up!
I recall calling out the crazy puma for strange plate configuration that promoted upward propulsion rather than foreward propulsion. Can't say for certain but it looks like the PrimeX has got it bang on... It could possibly be quite insane for picking up the pace.
OG Prime X was the best EVER!!! Just bought another pair on Ebay! The Mizuno shoes have really been a great surprise to me this year. Flash 2 was easily my super trainer of the year (at a cost of $110US only)...
As someone who has loved the Mizuno Rebellion Pro 1, I didn't get along with the Pro 2 due to its super aggressive geometry. The Pro 3 is similar. I'm going to hold off on the Pro 3 and get the Pro Low when it drops as it will use the same top tier midsole foam but have less aggressive geometry and be similar to v1. Unless Mizuno send you a pair of Pro 3s I wouldn't buy them. They are extremely niche and my pair of Pro 2s rarely get a run because of that. Nice upcoming shoe releases coming up. Merry Xmas Edd!
Really looking forwards to the three stripe brand next year, seems like 2024 was a quiet one for them, so between the Evo sl, Adios Pro, Boston 13, and prime X, it should be a good one. Also interested to see what puma comes out with, on Kofuzis interview with one of their athletes after NY, she said the FastR3 and Deviate 4 were coming soonish, hopefully they do something good with the Velocity too
Ed once you’re off work and enjoying running and TH-cam - it’s very noticeable how on camera how your energy goes up. Keep it up, love to see the more charismatic style and upbeat energy 😊
Saucony Endorphin Trainer: Can it compete with other nylon plate trainers like the New Balance SC Trainer and Brooks Hyperion Max? Brooks Hyperion Max 3: More stack, even more extreme changes than from 2 to 1 Skechers Aero lineup: Will totally new running line bring runners to Skechers?
..Happy Holidays, Edd... Thanks for all you do for the running community! I'm super excited for the the Mach X3 and Boston 13 (If they make it a tad wider)..
Oh my... a Prime X 3... well that would explain the 2 coming down in price. I absolutely adore the Prime X 2, so I recently bought another pair, and hope the 3 will be even better.
@@EDDBUD I feel the Nike Zoom Fly 6 . . . whilst being unbelievable, is the follow-up of the Nike Tempo Next %. Can you do a comparison of these two, showing Tempo Next% still with better upper . . . but showing , you never needed AirPods in Next% . . . as ZF6 with the Next% upper and wavy outsole would be friggin unbeatable for 3+ years.
AP4 (just because I was able to do well with the 3's) I take it ASICS SB3, Metaspeed Sky + or new Paris? (Seems like the Paris would be phased out or into the + as that was more of an Olympic thing). Maybe what Chepngetich was wearing in Chicago? Maybe if Alphafly 3 & Metaspeed sky Paris had a kid??BTW - enjoy the holidays as I have truly enjoyed your videos and suggestions for me in 2024. BTW- got my PDN3's and looking forward to adding them to the mix.
As I understood Nike made the pegasus line their everyday trainer, and vomero their longrun/ recovery line. The invincible, for example, will become the vomero #something.
Great 👌 review Edd really appreciate it thank you for all the great reviews this year looking forward for more reviews next year to you and your family Merry Christmas and a bright and prosperous New Year
Merry Xmas Edd. How have you got those Evo SL’s looking so clean? Can’t get the marks off mine! Also managed to get the Adios Pro 4 pre-ordered on Start Fitness today (xmas present to myself), wife was well chuffed!
Endorphin Pro 5 ??? I've seen pics of the upcoming speed 5, but nothing yet on the Pro 5. Really hope that they will turn this one into an elite 1 successor, which was a really good option for 10km and HM.
I have my marathon PB in original PrimeX but never had the chance to buy the Strung 1. Staring at a pair on EBay. I didn’t want to pay 300 for the Frankenstein Strung 2s…Strung 1 appears to be Same as Original PrimeX with the Strung upper
I wouldn’t go a half size down in prime x 2. I had a Uk 12 as I usually get Uk 12 / us 13 but with adidas a us 13 is Uk 12.5. Long story short I effectively had a half size down and it 100% did not fit and after not even 5k it started to blister my little toe and even the toe next to it I was considering going for a Uk size 13 after that but since the prime x 2 didn’t live up to my expectations I decided to just save the £250 …. At that price it had to be amazing 🤩
@ might be a issue unique to the bigger sizes as I think tim gross had a similar issue to me with his or maybe it’s just qc issue and I might have had a particularly short and narrow one or you had a particularly long one 🤣 But Like I say I effectively had half size down on my normal running shoe size so i might have been okay in my correct size .. I kind of think I’d would have needed the full size up tho
Mizuno: I have the beta in zebra colors. it's my slowest running shoe, cant find a pace it works at. Would love to love the shoe, It looks awesome in zebra. Cant get it done no matter how hard it try
J'étais très contente des endorphin pro 2, très durables, hyper dynamiques, mais étroites et glissantes. j'ai pris le modèle pro 3, assez déçue, je ne retrouve pas les memes qualités, en plus, le mesh est hyper fin, c'est bien l'été mais l'hiver on prend toute l'eau de pluie. Je trouve qu'elles n'ont pas de caractère commes les excellentes puma fast r nitro elite. Seuls points positifs, comme le mesh est hyper fin, je suis moins à l'étroit (=hallux valgus++++) et un peu plus adhérentes sur bitume mouillé. Ma rotation actuelle : new balance (1080, vongo 5? rebel) car ce sont les plus confortables et plutot adhérentes, les puma en carbone et quelques modèles hoka (rincon, mach, éventuellement clifton et challenger), Mizuno néo vista (excellentes en tout point de vue, dynamisme, amorti, tenue de route, malgré le fort effet bascule). J'ai pris le modèle route chez craft pro endurance distance, car très contente du modèle trail. Ce que je ne prendrais plus : Altra, Saucony et Adidas
I liked your message at the end. Go give your elderly neighbour a pair of unwanted Nike daily running shoes this Christmas. And tonight thank God it’s them instead of you.
Also exists a Nike Pegasus 41 Premium that is a more luxurious basic Pegasus 41. Them the Pegasus Plus and Pegasus Premium (real Premium). Also , I want to know if Nike will launch in 2025 a Pegasus 42, Pegasus Plus 2, Pegasus 42 Premium and a Pegasus Premium 2. That along the Vomero 17, Vomero 17 Premium, Vomero Plus and Vomero Premium ( real one). LOL Confusing indeed . Not to mention it will be bad for the sales. The consumer will wait for a Vomero Plus and Premium to see which one they will buy. They should have kept the Invincible...
I think Nike may be trying to create some form of crossover market with their shoes in terms of walk/run/lifestyle usage rather than purely running. A good example is the Zoom Vomero 5 that was released a month or so back. It’s super comfortable as a lifestyle shoe but you could probably run in it if you felt inclined to do so. The premium offerings seem to be the same but with the bias more towards the running spectrum rather than the lifestyle spectrum as is the case for the Vomero 5
Nice closing message Edd. Tough time of year for many.
As for 2025 shoes, Puma Propio!

That OG Prime X was an insane shoe. Hope the v3 will move back to the craziness of the v1
If only!!! I just bought another pair of the OGs on Ebay!!!! All 3 of my pairs had 600 miles and I just threw them away. 😭
Still have a pair! Only worn it once for a 25Km long run. The road was uneven so my experience wasn’t great with it. But I will try it again on solid concrete

Brooks HE4-PB, then HE5. Asics MS4s, hopefully with a wider mid foot than the Paris models.
Think we are hitting the ceiling in terms of shoe price….I can’t imagine spending a 1000 dollars for a 3 shoe rotation.
They are getting pricy.
100% agree. Next year I will just watch reviews and live through them and not buy anything. It's outrageous.
Three shoe rotation for $210. Got three pairs of OG Brooks Hyperion Tempo.

Great parting comment Ed. Merry Christmas.
It’s that time of year, I try and remember that it’s great having fun and I’m very lucky. But others not so much.
Have a top time! 👍🏼
I was blown around for my entire run today 🌪 I hope it's not brought any power lines down in the area 🎣
That was a strange shadow at the window. 🤣
In all the shoes the stack heights are towering over each other. I'm waiting on vaporfly 4. 😊
There’s some crazy stuff now. 70’s glam rock inspired
I hope Puma don’t mess up the Deviate Nitro Elite 4, as the 3 is an absolute banger
Can’t go wrong leaving it similar to what it is now!

The Glen Speech. I cheated and looked it up. Dam son where do you know this stuff from?
Not quite right. Someone has got the answer.
AF4 proto looks heavy as a brick. Probably going to be heavy just to make the AF5 look lightweight again in 3-4 years.
In regards to Nike simplifying their shoe lineup they have the 3 classes of shoe but have the zoom fly 6 in no class at all it’s bizarre 😂
Yes! What’s that all about?! 🤣
Saw you when i was in KFC earlier but didnt want to bother you. You were right to decide against waiting in that massive queue 😅
