"OTHER BRAND" - RUNNING shoe thread - asics, saucony, new balance, hoka one one, adidas, reebok, brooks, altra, skechers, etc...

Looks like it's supposed to be the top tier racing model to be paired with the Magic Speed for training.

First impressions are the outsole rubber seems like it’ll last 50 miles max...strange feeling to the touch imho. Shoe’s also about half a size longer than other brands in the same size, eg all my Nikes including Pegs, AFN, VFN; Saucony endorphins; even Adizero Pros. And these things are BRIGHT!

Asics Magic Speed

Product Details
The MAGIC SPEED™ shoe is made for racing or regular training runs. It offers the versatility you need to move your body and your mind towards a new personal best.
Made to propel your foot forward, GUIDESOLE™ technology is combined with a carbon forefoot plate. This creates a smooth rolling sensation as you move through your stride.
Traditionally, when you add more foam to a shoe, you add more weight. By stacking the midsole with FF BLAST™ cushioning, this material adds a responsive feel to your step while keeping the shoe lightweight.

I’m about to order a Hypervolt Plus. Do you think it’s worth it to keep the body healthy for marathon training?

i would 100% recommend getting a massage gun if you have the funds for it.
had my hypervolt for a little over a year now, and definitely helps with the recovery process and gets my legs feeling much more fresh. there are other factors that will go into overall body health, but the hypervolt was well worth the investment
 
I’m about to order a Hypervolt Plus. Do you think it’s worth it to keep the body healthy for marathon training?

Definitely! I feel much more refreshed after having a session with the gun than without one.

After comparing specs, this smaller gun (OYeet NEX) is actually faster than any of the HyperVolts (3200ppm), as it can reach up to 3500ppm. It only weighs 1.3#s, which is less than half of the HV’s weight, and it even has a longer battery life. It sounds slightly more quiet as well. Most important thing, it’s less than half of their prices.
 
It actually got delivered!

Powerwise, it’s just as strong as the HyperVolt!
Kickstarter type project? When does it actually release?

tbh I’m fine with a $70 eBay one (even after comparing to hypervolt, etc) but I’d want a smaller one I can carry around or use in the car.
