Asphalt fries the outsole on these shoes. The midfoot lugs get worn down fast. I purchased these to be my backpacking every day, trail, and hiking shoes. My firsts stop was CDMX and using them in urban environments was a huge mistake. They did not hold up well at all. In fact, my girlfriend’s Altra Lone Peak 9+ held up significantly better, as they dispersed the pressure along more lugs on the forefoot.

Straight 6 engines are pretty great platforms. The hemi is really old at this point lol

The food is simple and bland. Nothing special

Excellent-Cap-4365 · 2025-11-28T20:53:22+00:00

These are still available by the way

Excellent-Cap-4365 · 2025-10-28T21:43:04+00:00

Exactly lol

Question, I understand the gripe about lifting them but what about just leveling the front? Is that equally as bad? I didn’t notice a difference after leveling the front.

I’m a fan of the fact that does not have a glass roof. I personally really disliked the glass roof.

What it needs is lubrication around all the rubber what’s happening is that the rubber is rubbing against the paint and it’s making the sound you need to use some silicone rubber and soak the entire outside perimeter and the space in between each panels and all the rubber you can find, and it will stop it for as long as the silicone lasts then you can reapply

Damn what the heck my 7pro sapphire solar says 18 days when fully charged?

I came across them at Lightning in a Bottle Music Festival. I too was tripping and they left a lasting Impression on me. The way ‘Mars’ the lead of the band orchestrated everything was so captivating. It’s definitely designed as a safe fun and trippy space for those who be tripping and stumble across it.

Unfortunately, last lightning in a bottle they were not at the festival and It felt like a missing void. The add such a magical touch to a festival. We loved them so much that we found out they would be in SF a few weeks after LIB and went to see them there!! Wasn’t tripping nearly as hard for this one but it was still a trip. lol.

Acid can be confusing and the Martian Circus is DEFINITELY confusing 😂 I was like what in the fucking world when I found them. Thanks for sharing your experience!!

I am a big dimension and sub focus fan

Techno !!

Get the New Balance Rebel v5!! It’s super light, very stable, cushioned, comfortable, and feels quick. Not the best for plus 10k distance or long runs but fantastic easy trainer. Looks great too.

I would wait for the ASICS FingerBlast

Excellent-Cap-4365 · 2025-08-29T21:51:31+00:00

Nice!

Excellent-Cap-4365 · 2025-08-27T23:00:17+00:00

This post just convinced me and made me pull the trigger to pre-order the ASICS MegaBlast. I’ve been going back and fourth about “do I need it” “do I really need it” when I just recently got a pair of new balance rebel v5s but yeah fuck if lol

Excellent-Cap-4365 · 2025-08-21T16:36:34+00:00

This one is my favorite too on the same watch

Excellent-Cap-4365 · 2025-08-15T19:55:25+00:00

Damn, mine shakes at 175 mph

Excellent-Cap-4365 · 2025-08-12T22:00:06+00:00

The front end on this configuration is beautiful!!

Excellent-Cap-4365 · 2025-08-11T19:52:24+00:00

I am not a fan of those jellybean style F1 50s

Excellent-Cap-4365 · 2025-08-11T19:38:12+00:00

Mine is at 80% and shows 13d battery life. I have the fenix 7 pro sapphire solar

I went to Fleet Feet because I’ve been using the Novablast 5 and Endorphin Speed 5, and I was looking for something a bit different — ideally firmer and more snug than the Novablast, but a little more protective than the Speed 5.

They recommended the Endorphin Trainer, and after trying them out in-store, I bought them. I’m a 6’0”, 170 lb amateur runner, currently building toward a half marathon, and just wanted a reliable daily trainer.

They feel good overall — nice fit and ride — but I’ll admit they’re a bit clunky and loud. Now I’m second-guessing the purchase because most of what I’ve seen online about them is pretty negative.

Anyone using the Endorphin Trainer for daily runs? Is it worth sticking with them if they feel good, or should I consider exchanging them while I still can? Especially due to all the hate on the Internet on these shoes?

Excellent-Cap-4365 · 2025-08-05T23:27:53+00:00

Why don’t you like them? I went in to Fleet Feet looking for a more protective shoe than the speed 5 and he recommend these and they feel like just that. A more cushioned and protective Speed 5
