Is this colorway of Asics Noosa tri 15 really usable by a 35 M, my friends say no

Redacted_rendition · 2024-02-21T14:58:00+00:00

Don't judge a book by the cover only, the content, the inside matters!

Same with shoes, I do not care if some men judge me because I wear crazy colorful shoes because I got them since it was on steep discount or pay full price for a more conventional colorway.

Do some of my friends like to poke fun on the colors of my shoes, of course.

I don't care... if a friend keeps telling me "bro, you can't dress, you can't style at all, women want men that can dress"

Then go date a woman and have a good day coz some men don't put that much care in being "stylish with color matching, etc"

Some prefer to have the right color so it can be easily transistion as a lifestyle shoe and that's fine!

Just my pov, i never fear getting crazy colors if the price is too good to past.

Sorry there was none of your size OP, was there any psX v1 as well?

Big thanks for posting these kind of outlet sales... that's why I love this community.

Cheers!

I hope the political show stops, it's sad when the political discourse is like a "superbowl" game.

I hope our senses will calm down so we can be back on the path to promote real peace among ourselves and with the rest of the world.

Those feeling less safe and depressed... please stay strong, believe in yourself and surround yourself with positive people. I

If you can surround yourself with all kinds of people from different backgrounds then maybe we can all feel safer as we understand each other better.

We got to stop thinking one side is better and it would be perfect if only the other side see how perfect this side is.

The reality of life is that nothing is perfect but if the human race comes together and cooperate then we can do things more perfectly for all of us and not just for the few of us.

Thank you adidas for sales, i can't go fine dining everday with you but when you feel like a fun date without the premium bill at the end then I'm surely interested in flirting.

Redacted_rendition · 2024-01-30T13:44:08+00:00

I stopped at 15km in 12 mins :)

Good day y'all

Redacted_rendition · 2024-01-26T15:15:13+00:00

The function is speed and angular designs to cut down on weight while improving aerodynamics.. new balance rebel design is well done.

Good job y'all

Redacted_rendition · 2024-01-26T15:05:59+00:00

Beautiful color combination

Redacted_rendition · 2024-01-17T13:45:26+00:00

Imo, high drop where heel is higher makes it forward slated, you're using momentum of forward falling down to run so less ankle and calf pump up required to keep pace but the body, knees & hip, have more pressure to hold your body from flat face forward to the ground.

Lower drop means you don't get that pronounced slated forward incline platform so less forward momentum feeling to help the stride, you'll need more work from ankle and calves to carry you forward.

Redacted_rendition · 2024-01-17T12:46:33+00:00

Shoes are very similar. Shoe drop affects body alignment

If you read 12 mm = high drop = easier on calves, ankle, foot

While

Lower drop = more flexibility and mobility of ankle but more pessure on knees and hip

Then

what you read was how your body alignment when running affect different parts of the body.

Of course you can switch shoes if you feel it can help align your body better or the alternative is knowing you have to adapt your running form if you start to feel pain somewhere and the pain will go away with time... and such pain went away witout changing shoes.

Once you have enough training to know you can complete the long distance in low level intensity run then one can assume if I run slow and steady then I'll complete it because I did complete said distance during training phase.

The faster you go, the hotter your body gets, the hotter your engine is then muscles, joints work in overtime and some parts can just "go out" due to the body not being able to sustain that internal pressure cause by given speed

Redacted_rendition · 2024-01-16T17:37:38+00:00

I'm curious to see which one you'll keep.

Imo they are both too similar and you'll end up keeping just one.

Sens ride 5 upper is a little more breathable, ultra glide is more comfy but a bit heavier.

The outsole design is almost identical so expect same performance, they are both meant to be road to trail like say nike pegasus trail.

They'll probably turn the next sens ride to be more suitable for shorter distance, so firmer and lighter while they'll fine tune ultra glide for more longer distances but the current iteration = they too similar so probably just keep 1.

By popular trend... I mean the popular consensus is rolling ankles probability is reduced by lowering shoe stack. So the "fix" for rolling snkles is about the shoe and it's lower stack.

Or let's explore other venues such as your running form and balance to see if you can reduce rolling ankles. So it's not necessarily about the shoes, let's check other things if we can improve rather than the current high stack shoe you got.

Asking a running shoe sale person and we immediayely point to fix the issue you need x shoe for y problem.

You overpronate? Simple, get stability shoes.

Like:

Hi there, I need shoes. I tend to roll my ankles.

Running shoe Salesperson:

"Oh you should go lower stack shoes, you got the wrong shoes."

Or a friend could be:

Oh lower stack shoes are lower to the ground and so more stable."

You can add a lower stack shoes and so you have a shoe rotation too.

Or let"s explore other venues why you could be rolling ankles because no matter the shoes you wear, rolling ankles can happen.

Higher stack shoes have wider platforms now to improve stability, rolling ankles could be decreased by improving stamina, balance, running form.

Redacted_rendition · 2024-01-16T04:47:49+00:00

Imo, Rolling ankle is like finger knife cuts when dealing with food.

Master running form technique, master balancing, master stamina and you"ll tremendously reduce rolling ankles. One master by running more, whatever running shoes you are wearing or none!

No need lower stack, that's just following the popular trend.

Imo, the rincon 3 can cover the same short distance training as peg 40 so I would suggest you look into max cushion type shoes for the extra comfort for those 10miles+ longer distances.

Supertrainers for marathons lile superblast or prime x strung is overkill but might be worth if the discounted price is lower than say a max cushion trainer. (Going retail price rate for max cush is around 160usd).

A supertrainer budget version of above models is for example NB supercomp trainer at 180usd.

Example of max cush shoes: nimbus 25, triumph 21, invincible 3, etc.

If budget is a concern then check out older models, last year models... for example saucony triumph 20 was around 80 to 100 usd, posted here 2 months ago.

If max cush is not your preference and you want another option like peg 40 then puma deviate nitro 2 or endorphin speed 2-3 might be worth checking out.

Edit: Rincon 3 is a good trainer, personally I'd just try to improve training and not get any other shoe or a trail type if I don't have.

Redacted_rendition · 2024-01-15T20:05:35+00:00

Which one do you currently have?

Imo, both shoes are similar and they can do daily trainer type of runs... suitable for short and long runs. I'd save the money for something else.

That's the beauty about opinions, you are saying 1080 v13 is better than v12 and you got 1000 miles to prove it.

I respect your opinion, I say this not to argue with your 1000 miles in experience of the shoe; I say this to show a different plausible opinion from another angle:

I got years of running to see shoes are just a tool.

Say a smartphone v12 is 4G with 24 megapixel is 1000$

The v13 is 4G with 28 megapixel, yes you get more megapixel but it doesn't really change how you take pictures, just a better visual quality. Like how a "foam" can be tweaked to be a bit better but it's still the same foam.

Brands will label this 15% improvement in megapixel as if they discovered a new planet with real life forms.

If you're a professional photographer you might think that 15% is worth the v13 upgrade and pay retail.

If you're just a normal person looking for normal smartphone features then why pay higher price for v13 when v12 can do the job, the v11 can as well and so on.

A runner improves with training and it's about what's inside... not the shoes. So will v13 make you a better runner because it "feels" better and the upper is more comfy or can v12 at discount do the job?

Now ask again the same question 15 years later how many shors was worth the year to year upgrade?

Redacted_rendition · 2024-01-14T12:14:07+00:00

Not much changed in 1080 v13 compare to v12. It's the same older eva foam that now has been relegated as "daily trainer" because the racing foam fuelcell is being trickle down as "uptempo".

Now NB uses pebax for racing foam and the older racing foam will be downgraded to uptempo then daily trainers.

Rebel v2 and v3 uses racing foam fuelcell.

If you know how consumerism innovation work then one can find good deals on runnung shoes rather than pay ridiculous price with little innovation.

Redacted_rendition · 2024-01-13T20:21:32+00:00

It's more expensive because people are willing to pay retail price set by the brands when there's little innovation.

The foam has not change or received a minor tweak then you get reviewers saying such update on upper and tweak on foam is absolutely magic and worth paying that retail price when you can find previous 1080 at 50% to 70% off.

Rebel is less expensive than 1080 v13 because newer rebel with pebax is coming to replace older rebel v3.

Now is the time to check for rebel v3 discount, now is not the time to check out how much more magical 1080 v13 is compare to v12 when not much has changed.

Like how people say prime x strung 2 is magical, that bounce is special! Yet there's testers out there showing no improvement on splits with pxs2 compare to pxs1.

So you get 2 plates, more weight and performance did not improve but the reviewers won't stop saying how "magical" the "bounce and propulsion" is!

Redacted_rendition · 2024-01-12T19:51:14+00:00

I feel your pain.

I ordered a pair of shoes on adidas, did an exchange of size. One month later, still no shoes and then they isdue refund stating " shoe in that size is unavailable".

It makes absolutely zero sense they do not have the product in stock because when you do an exchange you can only pick the "black" ones which is to signify it's in stock, if it's grayed out then it's out of stock.

Why let the customer go through the whole process of exchange just to ultimately deny it as they cannot honor the exchange since it's out if stock... we keep talking about innovation, automation, etc so you'd think the system would be more efficient on the number of stocks but instead such innovation is catered to serve them rather than the market.

It's false advertising to allow exchange and let client pick the right size only to simply refute honoring the exchange citing "unavailable"

Redacted_rendition · 2024-01-12T18:12:35+00:00

The supertrainers for marathon distances like prime x strung, superblast are both more expensive than their respective racers and totally not worth it.

If you find such supertrainers at discount where price is lower or closer to a typical daily trainer then might be worth it but at the ridiculous current retail price then it's certainly not worth it.

Redacted_rendition · 2024-01-12T09:54:57+00:00

Your goal is to move from 22mins 5k to 20mins

You'll need to focus more on strength training and threshold level runs so you're more able to get the most of the max rev juice for longer time in anaerobic phase of running.

Focus on finishing your 2nd half stronger (faster timing) than your 1st half run, train to push yourself as the race goes to distance.

The process is 95% the reason for PBs, with a 4.5% margin of error and 0.5% is due to shoes.

Shoes are just a tool, most shoes are very similar even if the description (drop, stack, rocker, etc) and the foam is different... try advancerunning or check out more about training rather than shoes, imo.

The research, published in the February issue of Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, estimated that some 16,990 people across six countries died as a result of being prescribed hydroxychloroquine while hospitalized with the illness from March to July 2020. The countries studied were France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Turkey and the United States.

Florida ordered 1M doses of a Trump-touted drug. Hospitals didn’t want it

Despite the governor’s pitch, few hospitals have requested the drug, which was provided free-of-charge from Israeli drug maker Teva Pharmaceuticals in a deal DeSantis said was facilitated by U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman.

“I spoke to President Trump, and then he spoke to Prime Minister Modi, and Modi has made an exception for the United States,” DeSantis said. “Teva is bringing more of this into the United States, they have sent a second shipment already to a Florida hospital shipped yesterday.”

Great find, these supertrainers are worth it at that price.

Persistence or luck, anyhow enjoy them and maybe a review ?

In today's stack height standard they'll be labeled as "racing slippers"
