My guess is that they’ll modify the AlphaFly to make it conform. Seems like they could reduce the stack to 40mm and switch back to a single plate that still has the zoom air bag units under the plate, i.e. between the plate and outsole rubber. That would be legal under the rules. (Edit: Oops...
That article also claims that Kosgei’s “modified” Next%’s would also be banned. In what way were her pair “modified”. My understanding was that they were stock Next%’s.
The next 360deg view page that’s queued up on running warehouse is entitled “Hakone”, there are no images ready in the page though. Here’s the URL:

My guess is that the Jan 2 release is the Ekiden CW that we’ve seen. I hope I’m wrong...
I've logged many many miles in the ER1. I never did move on to the ER2 because I stocked up on too many ER1s. I'm looking forward to the IR, planning on grabbing a pair Jan 3rd. My only worry is that the IR won't be as soft as the ER. Specifically because the ER1 (and ER2) had very limited...
99% sure that was a prototype colorway. I think we saw pics of Shalane Flanagan or Suguru Osaka wearing them on the Nike campus track. You can see the “0 / 5 “ on the medial side of the midsole which was what they were calling them prior to the change to “NEXT%”.
If someone is selling these...
Sail VF NEXT% were available on prodirectrunning.com when I checked earlier today.

I’m no hater. I love the VF and have been training and racing in them since they came out. But this new shoe? Cmon, How can you look at the schematic for that shoe and not think it has a spring constructed in the forefoot? You can argue that the full length carbon fiber plate is present in the...
I’m sorry, but Kiochoges shoes are ridiculous and need to be banned. The 3 CF plates in there even look like a spring. The 4% and NEXT% have only one plate and even the biomechanics who did the initial study indicated that the performance gain was maybe 3% from the foam and 1% the plate. Sounds...
Retail for Vomero 14 are at $140, but I’ve been finding them for between $60 and $80 no problem. I made the switch to Vomero 14 for my daily trainer this year, really been enjoying them. Pegs are basically not in my rotation any more except for short recovery runs
I did not get one yet, was wondering the same thing. I got a notification that I earned $20 in rewards cash, but that’s it. My order still says processing. Kinda expecting an email saying they ran out of stock, but we’ll see...
The By You Next% seem to run 1/2 size big. I have the engineered mesh and they’re a touch longer than the OGs. TTS was perfect for me in the regular Next%. TTS will work fine for me in the engineered mesh but it’s close, would be alright had I gone 1/2 size down. I got the flyknit Next% for my...
