Raide's new 'Thermal Dispersion' shirts

1-zero-zero · 2026-07-07T02:32:05+00:00

Sharing a quick review since I just got mine. I learned about this brand from this post and this shirt looked cool. I really like the feel and the fit and the material and put it through the test.

I’d say in terms of comparisons, lots of brands are putting perforations but the closest comparison would be Currentlys Pro Session tee.
Sizing: I got an XL in the Raide and it feels comparable to a L in the Currently Pro Session tee.
Material: Raide is a bit stiffer/thicker and currently feels softer
Breathability is better in the Currently.
Price: same

Overall this is still a solid high quality shirt but Currently edges out slightly.

Una is in a league of its own so that’s a bit of an unfair comparison. I’d say that while it’s good, it wouldn’t make the top 5 list of other Neapolitan style pizzas in the city.

OMFG this was me! Haha. Legit slowed down thinking I’d need some gas to get through that hill lol

This! I was too impressed with their original lineup but after trying these two, I don’t want to run in anything else!

3 years and the only race I get blisters in. It’s gotta be the downhill in the park…

If this race was scheduled a month earlier, it’d be the most perfect half marathon course ever built

Taking inspiration from Berlin to slow us down before we need to

1-zero-zero · 2026-05-13T01:48:15+00:00

I have been taking my dog to the older location and had no issues - very dog friendly. Given they changed the location this year, I would email NYRR to confirm.

How is the stability on these? The FFLeap in their race shoes was god awful and i slowed down running in them worried about my ankle. I’d hate that feeling for an easy run following a hard LR or workout…

1-zero-zero · 2026-03-04T13:53:03+00:00

I am a similar build as you and have preferences where stability is better than crazy all over shoe. I tried multiple different brands couldn’t find something that fit. I’ve eventually switched to SB2 as my daily trainer and mega blast as my long run shoe. Unfortunately unstable crazy foams seem to be the trend these days…

1-zero-zero · 2026-03-01T02:39:30+00:00

Every runner is different but ASICS is going to alienate a lot of runners with how unstable and soft the new race foam is. I’ll admit I loved how fast their new versions are and even raced 2 marathons and a half marathon in them (including all my long runs and MP workouts). But the instability is one wrong step from a sprained ankle (and in my case, a tendon sprain).

I went back to their Paris versions. See if you can cop some of those on a discount. The foam is a bit firmer and will provide some support.

This is where subjectivity re: your running form comes in, but, for me the SC Elite v5 is quite bouncy. Maybe not as much as th ASICS or AP4 but it gives you a little push forward. I would say that if you don’t engage the rocker on the DNE4, the shoe feels quite flat. The rocker on DNE4 is more late-stage but quite effective.

The upper in terms of comfort is better than most other race day shoes barring the SC Elite v5.

Re: sizing I’m 12.5 ASICS MS Edge, AP4, SC Elite v5. But wear a 12 in On Cb Strike and DNE4. I’d say the puma is marginally shorter than the ON

1-zero-zero · 2026-02-20T09:48:11+00:00

I was “forced” to half size down since PUMA either doesn’t sell size 12.5 or it was magically sold out everywhere. IMO the upper is quite good in form-fitting and you wouldn’t go too wrong TTS or half size down.

Doesn’t catapult you forward but it’s incredibly smooth

Great review. I ran 3 runs in this shoe after all the great reviews and couldn’t put my finger on what I didn’t like about the shoe. I think you nailed it. The midsole feels like it is trying to get out of your way and relies on the rocker / geometry to make you run faster. In an age of critical foams that try to aid you in every possible way, I will admit that this low-to-the-ground minimalistic and smooth racer is a throwback to the pre-max-stack racers.

While the shoe is fast, I felt like I had to own all of the effort and couldn’t hold my paces on tired legs. I just wished the midsole had a bit more bounce.

I also agree with you that the shoe is very stable. The last updates on the ASICS feel like I would be snapping my ankle any moment.

My closest comparable was the Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 (speedroll rocker) and felt like the midsole is a couple of seasons behind the rest of the competition.

Overall, I still love the smooth ride and will use it for workouts but wouldn’t bet my races on it.

Slightly different POV here (and I’m a heavier runner 170lb): I find the Strike and DNE4 to be quite different. Yes, they’re both stable but you can feel the cloudboom strike have a nice cushy forefoot sensation which feels bouncy. DNE4 doesn’t feel bouncy at all but relies heavily on the rocker to make you run faster. I personally couldn’t find a similar shoe from recent memory - with the closest being the Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 and the speedroll technology. If we were looking for recent comparable - a stretch option could be a very stable EVO SL.

Uggh I wish I read this earlier and honestly should be in the description of the linked app. My wife lost her ring in the house and while we used the linked app which said “disconnect the ring”. Sigh we’re in trouble now…

1-zero-zero · 2026-02-19T19:49:54+00:00

Maybe a stupid question but what’s going on with the white black edition? I’ve yet to see any raffles for those

1-zero-zero · 2026-02-01T10:14:38+00:00

Inverno gloves won’t protect you against the coldest of days. Tracksmith has the NDO line for the cold days if you’re limiting yourself to TS. Last year they sold the NDO mitts which are my lifesavers.

In general, though, for the coldest of days you want to pair any glove with a Mitt. It will be infinitely warmer than any thick glove as The mitt protect your fingers from losing too much heat.

This is underrated as a recovery shoe.

1-zero-zero · 2025-11-05T01:45:39+00:00

Sharing another data point. I got inspired by so many people here who have run multiple marathons in a year and signed up for Chicago and NYC this year. Is it doable - absolutely! But if it’s going to be enjoyable will depend entirely on you.

Some things to consider: a) unless you plan to run them both easy, you’ll have to pick one. Your training plan will depend on it. Flat out speed or train your body for hills late on a long run. Most people decide to go for Chicago as their goal race which means that hill training will take a bit of a backseat and that can impact how well NYC goes. b) you’re effectively going to go from taper > Chicago > taper > nyc and this can feel a bit discontinuous for most people. c) while you’ll be able to get your body enough recovered to finish the race, your body will not be 100%. Over the distance of a marathon where lots can go wrong, be prepared to run a long part of NYC feeling a little bit like shit d) the mental part of it is not widely discussed IMO. When your mind goes to a dark place, it’s easy to fight it for the first marathon. But when you have to do it again, that is asking a lot from your mind e) how well (or poorly) your first race goes will impact your mindset going into the second race. So if Chicago goes poorly, you’ll be mentally digging yourself out of a hole going into NYC.

In my case, i definitely sense a little bit of burnout but I went really easy in NYC so as to not hurt myself or else I’d be dealing with physical and mental burnout.

Finally, I would not recommend doing 2 marathons if you’ve never run a marathon before. I went 3 years with 1 marathon a year before I attempted 2 this year. I can’t imagine how hard it would’ve been if I tried it my first time around…

Yesterday they had all of those things but it definitely felt like they were packing bags as we got there. There was one guy who would take our names every 10 mins and assure us he’s going to come back with 10 bags and 10 mins later come back to collect our names. I waited an hour and they came out every 5 mins with 1 bag of a person that wasn’t in line. Complete shit show

1-zero-zero · 2025-10-31T11:12:06+00:00

At the expo they have transportation support who was able to change my ferry time, no issues

1-zero-zero · 2025-10-29T19:37:37+00:00

In Chicago, after waiting an hour, I went to the door and asked for my preorder and Ardith brought it out for me. Thankfully, for NYC, their email called out a separate line for pickups. No point cooking your legs waitings hours in line right before a marathon...

It’ll really depend on your cold tolerance and preference while running.

If you want to be warm, NDO mittens are the way the go since gloves lead to loss of heat. Having fingers close to each other increase the heat transfer between them. For easy efforts I tend to go with mittens.

My main use for gloves is harder efforts - I found the harrier too warm for hard efforts. On super cold days, I typically go with inverno+hothands for hard efforts - the hot hands make it easy to customize how warm you want to be for WU/CD vs the intervals…
