bottoming out is an interesting issue.
Phylon appears to be the choice foam for these 'free' based trainers. IE your TR1, TR1 low, and SC 2010. Heel air with foam forefoot cushion, much like what we had 20 years ago. Now i'm not sure if phylon will bottom out as quickly as lunar foam but I'm guessing they are both close. Even the fall 2010, AIR TRAINER 1.2 MID looks to have the same mold and cushioning as these latest models. zoom is out for at least another year.
But look at it this way, most top of the line running shoes brands out there are all foam based shoes which have a lifespan and those perform fine. so theres nothing wrong with that phylon cushioning system Nike is employing here.
the only shoe in the foreseeable future with a full length encapsulated air sole is the air monarch, aka your grandmas or dads gym trainers.. all white with navy accents. and the air generate (off branch of the edge tr 0.
I initially thought that it was a cost issue but the two listed above come in at just $60 bucks, and the zoom based shoes up near $110-120.
i'll be perfectly honest here, your best bet may be some KOBE Vs which have dual zoom cushioning. For two-three releases now, that line has really captured a trainer like vibe to me..
After you suggested the Kobes, I tried on a pair and they felt nice. Since most of the sprint/explosion work I do is on field turf (cleats) or basketball court, I might as well rock some Kobes. Someone above was saying that they wore their SCs and had problems with their foot shifting around/toes hitting the front of the shoe. That was a problem I had with my Trainer 1s as well. I have a fairly wide foot, but I almost felt like I was feeling the flywire specifically put pressure on the outside of my foot while cutting, which disappointed me.
Thanks again, it's nice to get some solid technical discussion going on in here.

Champs is going to be THE PLACE to get Manny footwear and apparel going forward...and, there will be a very nice apparel collection (more than just tees) for the March 13th fight...
Look for product to begin to deliver this upcoming week...
