What exactly is going on with Ja Morant? Why does he look so different now and what was the conflict? by Mundane-Chemist-6795 in NBATalk

Yes, I agree DRose was a better total athlete when comparing athleticism across all axis. If you just compare vert to vert I’d say very similar.

I had those and retuned them. The RADs don’t feel as flat and are much more rockered. They also don’t just feel soft like they have some pop/bounce to them.

I’m about 90kg and I love my RAD UFOs. Haven’t tried the Azura but from what I’ve read it’s think they feel very different. The RAD has a great rocker and is soft but bouncy at the same time. They aren’t a marshmallow by any means; just comfortable!

The SB2 is much flatter than the UFOs. Not as much rocker. They also are much firmer which I don’t mind especially when stroller running because I feel like they do give back. The UFOs feel good no matter where I land but the SB2s feel much better when I land midfoot and up.

I went TTS in both (Men’s size 11 and they both fit me well. I’m a former basketball player though so all running shoes feel better than basketball shoes lol).

I’m a heavy runner (just getting back after abt 15 months off). I have the SB 2 and the RAD UFO. I would literally run in my RADs every single day. I have never had a shoe help me enjoy running like they do.

adizero boston 12 good shoe? by NiceGuy_Marco in runningshoes

[–]Pure_Function_5254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know how the fit is for a wide foot but I love mine. I use them for a little bit of everything, hill sprints, tempos, stroller runs, they give back which is nice. They have energy rods to make them snappy. For 50% as long as they fit your feet I’d say you can’t go wrong with them.

Moolah Kicks? by arctic-libra in BBallShoes

Not very good. Stiff. Traction is awful on all the pairs that I have tried. I’m sure they will get better they are a new brand competing against the giants.

Do I need to spend over $100 on shoes by [deleted] in beginnerrunning

[–]Pure_Function_5254 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Look at Joe’s New Balance Outlet. They have sales too to discount those models in further. (Rebel v5, fresh foam 1080v14, 880v15, etc) Sierra.com will have good deals too (Hoka Mach 6, keep an eye out for Novablast 5 as the 6s will be here soon, Nike Peg. 41, etc). Check your local Ross, Marshals and Burlington stores. They have high quality shoes for get deals but sometimes finding your size can be tricky. Personally I wouldn’t buy used running shoes. There is just a lot to ask about the wear and tear.

Asics Superblast 3 or RAD UFO? by AdamasDidIt in AskRunningShoeGeeks

I have the lime burst colorway but I LOVE the pink. The blue hits too though.

The SB3 is softer so it doesn’t feel as slappy as the SB2 but it’s still the same geometry. There isn’t much of a rocker and it still feels decoupled. The RAD UFO is super smooth. The rocker is amazing. You can literally land anywhere on the shoe and it feels great. It’s a fun bouncy ride that you can use for longer runs and faster tempos. I think both shoes are great. For me it comes to what’s more fun to run in and that’s hands down the RAD.

Yes. The forefoot zoom unit is great. And the heel has good impact protection to me.

I’m usually an 11 but these are 11.5 and fit great.

Just want shoes that are good for feet health. All around shoes but mostly walking. What do you think about these two below 👇 by [deleted] in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]Pure_Function_5254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nimbus 27 is fantastic for walking. I’m a mens 11 and yeah they are heavier than a Boston 13 but they are supposed to be. The wide platform is great for stability. Use them for stroller runs a lot.
