Some good perks. Remember running to unlock the Kipchoge AF1 Kenya colourway a few months before they released. They should definitely do more of that, exclusive colourways for folks using their running app.

Glad I went 1/2 down on the SBs. Thanks for the sizing advice, y’all!

SB: 1/2 down my usual size

Anyone put some good mileage on the SB? Would love to find out how they feel after 100 miles.

Didn't have a great experience with invincibles as i felt too squishy and unstable but would love to try these.

Thanks for this. I got a pair of AF1's during the fall that i can break out. So i may hold off. I love my Meta Speed Edge, so was trying to pair it with the SB, but doesn't seem necessary.

I know they're different shoes but i guess ill pull the trigger on the Ekiden AF2's . You first responders (Thanks for your service) have all the fun with those Codes. Or ill just wait for a sale.

Yeah I guess it just depends on what your use case is. For me, I wanted a non-plated, long run trainer for efforts at/below marathon pace. So far, it’s perfect. For any distance, TBH.

Sorry for spamming the thread but this CW is growing on me…

You did this on purpose.

I too wanted a non plated shoe. But in the video Kofuzi states it’s not a long run day shoe. It has a very specific niche.

How is your “below” pace feel? I’m a 10min mile runner. So I don’t know what to expect. Looking for a Cadillac shoe but not invincible squishy.

ASICS has the early 2023 lead as my favorite performance running brand. Saucony OWNED 2022, IMHO.

When I tried on the SBs, I didn’t feel they were “squishy”. They’re actually on the firmer side, IMO.
 
^^^I’ve only walked in the SBs (plan on running Monday). Maybe, they’re not “broken” in but they definitely felt firmer. I feel it’s the FF Blast. You can feel the slightly squish from the FF Blast+.

But maybe this changes with a few runs.

Firstly, I don’t like the INV. In fact, I hate it. Too squishy. Felt like an energy killer. I was hoping the INV3 would be better but now I don’t care. Not after the SB. The SB is more TURBO than INV. In the TURBO I could comfortably run fast or slow, short or long. It’s the same with the SB, only better.

Here’s another perspective from Madeleine Kelly, Canadian 800m national champion and 2020 Olympian:



And of course from the GOAT, The Ginger Runner, Ethan Newberry:

this statement right here is what I’m looking for. That helps a lot with the description.

I’ll order them and give them a try. Thanks for the help everyone.

They are similar but the Nova 3 is much softer and less stable. Superblast is bouncier, firmer, more propulsive and protective. I find it hard to grab my Nova 3’s now given the Superblast improves on the ride a lot for me

Hey man are you still favoring the SB over the NB3 for daily’s?
