isn’t the nike streak fly 2 coming out this year w carbon plate?

What I don't like about Novablast 5 are, the outer sole, toe box and the mid sole ffblast Max is too soft. This cushion won't last. Novablast 4 has a balanced combination, durability and cushion.

New Balance is changing the composition and feel of the Fresh Foam X through its line. The 880s is the firmer Fresh Foam X, the 1080s is the mushy Fresh Foam X for runners, and the Mores is the max stack . And I heard that New Balance wants the Mores to target the walk to run athletes too. They definitely look similar but will all feel different.

they should have save the talaria makeup/colorway for the new vomero instead of using it last year.

Wow, different strokes. I'm not really interested in any of these. The Glycerin 22 sounds interesting, as does the Hyperion 3. I'd really like to know if Puma is going to refresh any of their core models this year.

Bruhhh where’s that PXS1 review! 🤤

I’m 6’1 215lbs and I wasn’t thrilled with the 1080. I prefer the more v5 and if speed is the goal I’ll use the sc elites or superblasts. Not sure how much I’ll run in these - only 1 run so far so might grow on me?

Love the picks for bigger runners.

I'm with you about running in non-plated shoes. I enjoy more ground feel in most of my runs. Interesting list. Love the Pegasus pick. I recommend trying the Puma Velocity Nitro 3s if you can.

Jason, are you heel striker? Some shoetubers saying the plate is so hard on their forefoot.

I'm very surprised the NB Balos didn't make it?!

You are spot on, the Superblast 2 and a number of other highly sought after training/“super shoes” dont come in my size 15. Truly unfortunate.

Nice list. Zoom fly 6 is also my number 1 shoe of the year. Followed by Mach 6, mach X2, Glideride max and novablast 5.

Out of curiosity, does the Peg 41 have similar responsiveness to the SL2?

Really glad I stumbled on your “My Marathon Shoe Rotation 2024” video earlier this year! I’ve really enjoyed your channel, insights and perspectives on new releases. Hope to see more come 2025!

I've been running with the Pegasus since the 31st. I even ran a full marathon in the Peg 32. My last Peg was the 40th. And, its true, I've been heavily influenced by all the negativity the 41st received, so it came as a surprise to me that 3 of the shoetubers I follow swear by it and even squeezed it in their best of the year list. So, now, coming from your top 5, I've totally reconsidered and will grab the Peg 41 in the Eliud Kipchoge colorway. Thanks!

Nice list. Any other shoes you're really looking forward to run in next year?

Thanks for all the shoe recs ! Next year more to come :)

I 100% with you and not running in plated shoes a lot. I don’t know if my feet are a bit wrecked from wearing cleats a lot through football soccer, rugby, etc. etc. but I prefer a non-plated shoe. do I have some plated shoes? Yes, but I definitely prefer a non plated shoe on most runs.., and even races.

Enjoyed all your videos this year. Thank you and keep up the good work!

Mop 5's (non-Super Shoes) are : 1. Adidas SL2, 2. Hoka Mach 6, 3. Puma DN3, 4. Superblast 2, 5. Noosa Tri 16. Honorable mentions: Adidas Supernova Rise, Saucony Kinvara 15, Puma Magmax Thanks for all your videos in 2024. I know your channel will be a lot more successful this coming year.

Hey Jason, that's a well-balanced toplist and a superb rotation. I almost have the same types of favorites, but not everyone is a 2024 model. If I had to choose only 5, my picks would be: 5. Asics Nimbus 25 4. Asics Superblast 2 3. Brooks Hyperion 1 2. Nike Pegasus 41 1. Brooks Launch 9/10 I chose these, because they separate a bit from each other. Each of these works perfectly fine for a certain type of running. I'm mostly interested in lightweight trainers without a plate and a great ground feel in the forefoot. The Asics range is my choice for higher stacked shoes I use for easy, recovery and longer runs. I also have the Asics Cumulus 25 and the Novablast 3 LE, both are perfect daily trainers, I just like the Pegasus and the Launch a bit more due to the lower stack. I'm also enjoying the old Brooks Hyperion Tempo from 2022, it's amazing for speed work due to its low weight. Next year I'll add the Adidas Adios 9 to my lightweight shoes. It sounds promising, but unfortunately I haven't been able to buy it yet. Have a great start into 2025! 🎉🌠🥂

I had the Asics Novablast 5 and it gave me vibes of wearing the NB 1080 v13's. I felt the NB 1080 v13's were too soft and unstable, so I sold them on eBay. Recently got the NB 1080 v14's, wore and ran with them side by side with the Novablast 5's and I actually preferred the 1080 v14's over the Asics Novablast 5's, which actually surprised me. So, I returned the Novablast 5's to Asics, but am definitely keeping the NB 1080 v14's.

Thank you for the overview of these shoes, appreciate hearing about them. The Pegasus 41 is a surprise, you did not experience too much forefoot ground feel with them, especially weighing 200 lbs? I had the Pegasus 40's, and felt that shoe was a total dud...had too high of a heel to toe drop with too minimal forefoot cushion....I weigh about 190 lbs.

I got the recently got the Nike Zoom Fly 6 and think you are spot on especially at its price point. Probably the bounciest and fun shoe I have ever worn.

Love you picks. Thanks for putting in the work.

Jason, did you go TTS in the Peg?

The balos has 42 mil in the heel and 36 in the forefoot. Wouldn't say its low stack

Bagus mana evo sl?

This is the best colorway released on a shoe this year.

Can’t trust anyone running in cotton socks.

Thanks for the comparison! I have the Zoom Fly 6 and I love them. They can do the slower long run but you have to "control" them. They just love to go fast and it really is fun to run them fast.

Picked these up......they are ok........still prefer Cielo X1(except stupid price) and 361 Flame at a fraction (Literally Under 100.00) of the cost

Some pre-release ones I've seen on youtube had hybrid grip, final retail version has AHAR low hardness.

How would you compare this to the Deviate Nitro 3?

Does the trampoline pod in the forefoot break in? For one, it’s so loud when it slaps the ground as a heel striker. And two, I can feel it in my forefoot and kinda adds some mild pain.

How is it for walking Jason? I already have my Boston 12s as my speed/daily trainers but will probably add this as an easy run/daily trainer/work shoes.

I really like the midsole feeling of nvoablast 5. Perfect all-around running shoes. My only complaint is the cushion around the ankles is a bit too aggressive that keeps rubbing my ankles. The thinner cushion from novablast 3 works better for me. I hope it will get better after break-in period.

does it hv speed board ?

Thank you for your review. How is the rocker?

Must be like walking on clouds ⛅️ 😊

i agree except for the size: to me i tv is clearly half size down …

felt great worth the money. if it get like puma grip outsole it will be perfect

Pric

I want the link for both sl and sl2 shoes bro on sale please

Having all three of the supertrainers, here are my insights: SB2 = Light, fast, agile, ideal for uptempo/faster paces, outsole is great Glycerin Max = HIghest stack, the glideroll tech really is expressive and it is best used for longer easy runs, outsole is like a tank Balos = Impressive fresh foam, versatile as it can do both easy and uptempo, outsole needs some revision on v2 Overall all excellent shoes, Sb2 for race, balos for uptempo and glycerin max for easy/recovery runs Thanks for the video :)

Please gift me sir ❤🙏

what if u were to say just for pure 'fun' which shoe feels the most fun out of these?

Hi Jason, would these be a good replacement for my 1080 v12 as a daily/work/easy run/walking shoe? Been debating on whether to get these, the 1080 v14, On Cloudrunner 2, On Cloudmonster 2, Novablast 5. My current tempo shoe is the Boston 12.

64 bucks right now 😂
