It's not any better, it's actually less. It's a thinned out shoe. The foamposite isn't even worth being called foamposite, because it's so thin it won't grasp and mold. It's pretty much all hyperfuse and some TPU, the lack of carbon fiber is surprising.Not sure the material was ever any "better" in any of the elites. Just marketing making people think the subtle changes were worth the price increase. Price increase is almost the cost of a pair of Air Force ones when you put it into perspective
I wouldn't buy them for anything other than balling in. I'm not paying an extra $75 for a thinned out version of the XI just to wear around.
I'll edit this to say, as much as I want a pair of Heros, I'm not paying that much for them. I have no self control when it comes to shoes, but I can't pay that much.
