What reviewers say
Reviewers agree it has a fun, very bouncy ride from its three-layer midsole and full-length Air Zoom unit, with excellent step-in comfort and a bold look. The common criticisms are its high price, weight and a narrow, tapered midfoot and toe box that make it less stable; Tom's Guide found it too heavy for faster runs.
