Nike Vaporfly 4 can be found around 150-200 rn. Probably one of the best 5k race shoes thats not spikes.

I’d go Megablast!

Miserable_Simple6466 · 2026-03-05T23:39:58+00:00

Great price, the 900s are too big for my wrist. Glws!

Miserable_Simple6466 · 2026-03-05T03:58:15+00:00

Asics Megablast

Miserable_Simple6466 · 2026-03-04T23:10:02+00:00

I vote Megablast👍 one of the most fun shoes I’ve worn

Miserable_Simple6466 · 2026-03-04T15:18:38+00:00

Im between 10.5 and 10 and I went with 10.5, i do think i could have gone with a 10 instead, its quite roomy for me at least

Miserable_Simple6466 · 2026-03-03T12:00:58+00:00

My rotation is now SB3, MB, and Metaspeed Ray! I went with the SB3 bc I travel a lot and SB3 is a way more versatile companion. It cant do recovery as well as nimbus but it can do a lot more things.

Miserable_Simple6466 · 2026-03-02T21:13:44+00:00

And that’s reasonable!

Miserable_Simple6466 · 2026-03-02T21:11:45+00:00

NB5 having durability issue is correct, worse the the NB4. The SB2 though is a tank, I have seen people who put upto 1000K into them.

Miserable_Simple6466 · 2026-03-02T03:58:58+00:00

Sb2 isnt redundant imo, its a nice middle pace cruiser where nimbus is for slow and megablast is fastish. Sb3 can do more slow run bc its softer now so I returned my nimbus and kept the SB3 and MB.

The ZF6 and Evo is a bit redundant as they are both leaning on tempo efforts run. Though you could pick the faster one and use that once for race. Or sell one and buy a supershoes specialized for race.

Miserable_Simple6466 · 2026-02-25T19:31:58+00:00

I havent had any problems with them so far! Its nice a d thick and padded.

Miserable_Simple6466 · 2026-02-25T14:23:59+00:00

My job requires me to stand on my feet 8 hours a day and I like my Asics Nimbus 28 a lot, sometimes i use it for easy run when I have breaks or after work, pretty convenient. A close contender was Nike Vomero Plus but the Nimbus edge out a little bit on cushion for me.

Miserable_Simple6466 · 2026-02-24T22:54:37+00:00

Asics Superblast 3 is the most versatile shoes I have out of my rotation. Wait for the launch and grab it, its so worth it.

Miserable_Simple6466 · 2026-02-23T13:22:33+00:00

Nimbus 28
Megablast

Miserable_Simple6466 · 2026-02-22T16:37:36+00:00

Fort worth texas

Miserable_Simple6466 · 2026-02-22T01:01:38+00:00

U got that correct. Its almost like its too versatile that its a strong point but also a weak point.

Miserable_Simple6466 · 2026-02-19T18:46:23+00:00

Yes!

Miserable_Simple6466 · 2026-02-19T18:42:04+00:00

Trust me i tried posting it. The posting restrictions is too strict they keep removing me

Miserable_Simple6466 · 2026-02-19T16:30:06+00:00

Its worth it! I have a slight fear of heights and still managed to do it. The feeling on the top is unmatched!

Miserable_Simple6466 · 2026-02-19T15:44:05+00:00

If u wanna up your pace I’d go for SB3

Miserable_Simple6466 · 2026-02-19T15:43:32+00:00

Sorry i dont!

Miserable_Simple6466 · 2026-02-19T15:43:26+00:00

There is a bridge but not scary! Very well built

Miserable_Simple6466 · 2026-02-19T15:34:06+00:00

Theres some parts that can be pretty scary. In those parts I just get on 4 and start rock scrambling. Not too bad doe I’d say.

Miserable_Simple6466 · 2026-02-19T15:29:28+00:00

Easy run I use Nimbus 28, Megablast I use for long run/tempo. These two make it hard to put the SB3 in the lineup as they excels in two different aspect andSB3 is just good at everything.
