Between 1 (firm) and the 1080 v13 how squishy is this?

From all those high cushioning shoes, the Wave Sky 8 is one of the most versatile and fastest. For me it loses only to the Invincible 3 in max speed and equals to the MagMax Nitro from Puma. And totally destroy , in speed and versatility, skies like the Gel-Nimbus 26 , Triumph 22 or 1080 v14. These are all high cushioning shoes for low speed runs only. I do agree that the Sky 8 is not as soft as a More v5 or a Gel-Nimbus. I think the Wave Sky 8 works in a rotation for those, like myself, that loves high cushioning shoes for daily trainers. Can use a Nimbus for easy days , a MagMax for long runs and like the Sky 8 as a luxurious Pegasus Plus or a Velocity Nitro 3 for faster days. The Sky 8 can be a bit unstable at higher speed, but the bounce from the heel with the combination of a firner and also bounce forefoot makes this high cushioning shoes very different from most that are available on the market.

How are they now? have you been using them a lot?

Mizuno zen vs evo sl, what’s your favourite?

this and evo sl will be battling out for the shoe of 2025

My previous fast day shoe was Hyperion Max… it got bloated and heavier and I switched to Hyperion 2. Love this shoe. Word is that Hyperion 3 is going to get heavier with a bigger stack. 😕 This shoe is successful because of the light minimalist nature with the fantastic upper and lock down laces.

Hi! On snow - novablast 3 TR or novablast 5? What's better? Please help! 🙂

It hurt my knee real bad on the first run. Bed ridden after that. I wasnt using that kind of a sole earlier. I dont understand what could be the exact reason? But im afraid to step in these the next time.

how tall and heavy are you and what's the size of the harbor?

Nice review.. my fav shoe (not just trainer) right now besides mach 6

I love this shoe. The foam is worth every penny. I absolutely agree with your nitpicking when it comes to the tongue. Every single time I put it on the sides fold over and I have to adjust haha but definitely not a big deal. Funny enough I've had pretty good luck with the Continental grip on wet runs on asphalt. It's gripped well for me. Could be that I'm a heavier runner so it presses into the asphalt more and gets gripper with weight? Great review. Hype is real! I think the only true negative of this shoe is that it's had a weird release and it's hard to get right now!

Looking forward to trying this one👍

Seems like a light offroad shoe, flat gravel and trail.

Great breakdown man!!

Weird question but do you wear anything under those tights? I have a pair of older tracksmith tights that I bought with a liner but It’s a bit much for me. Was gonna try some of their tights without a liner but don’t know how to wear them 😅

Is it good for walking and standing for a long time too? Thank You!

This is what I was looking for. Thank you.

didnt have any issues with this shoe i love it i got it on bday voucher today for 115 dollars USD

Hows the width for a wide footer?

Some people are upset it got softer but if you ask me, this was a great move by asics. They needed to truly set this shoe apart from the Superblast. The 3rd version was so good but didn’t last long. If they can bring that same perfect level of cushion and response with durability, it’s a winner. I tried these on in store and was pleasantly surprised. Will be buying a pair soon!

Like it but it is a very hard ride

I love mine, I am also an old school runner, thick midsole is not my type. This one fits me perfectly especially the ground feeling when running. I also bought the Hyperion Max 2, and it turns out this is is more like an all rounder shoe than Max 2. The Max 2 doesn't feel good under easy jogging pace.

Waiting for Bandit to restock some of their colors in the quarter superbeam tights. Can’t wait to try them.

Thanks for the analysis! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?

This isn’t the foam in the top Evo shoe-it’s last gen Lightstrike Pro; still great all the same.

Is it good for daily 15km running???

How did you find the sizing? I'm usually a 8.5 and it was a bit 'short' and my big toe was in contact with the upper. Shoe person recommended a 9 and it's definitely roomier in the toe box area but no slippage.

Honest and clear review, bro... Appreciated. What about the sizing between these and Speedgoat? Same size? I heard Tecton x3 has a lot of room e lenght....is this true? Thanks a lot for your reply

There are 2 foams ... SR02 and zoom x

You couldve atleats worn it so we can see the fit

Does it run small, large, or to size?

I had no problem with the heel counter, for me it's the shoe of the year, especially since my race day shoes are Hoka Cielo X1 and Rocket X. I'm afraid that version X3 will suit everyone but not me, version X2 fits my foot perfectly and is very breathable

I have both. Both are very good shoes. Superblast 2 is a very good training shoes. I normally use it for 3:45 - 5:15 mins/km training (interval, tempo, speed Long run) Glycerin Max for 4:45 - 6:00 mins/km training (recovery, LSD, easy run)

Brooks has been killing it. Quality!

Love mine. Great shoe for long runs and steady paces. For heavy dudes like me who run 30-40mi x week this is worth the money

We didn't even see then on feet..! SMH

Excellent trainer . Got it early spring and it is still a pleasure to run in .

Did you have to size up by half or a full size?

Did you go up by half size or full size?

Was able to get a pair on a random restock on a friday morning. Absolutely love mine, super comfy/light and responsive. Is there a way to swap the laces from the lock system without cutting them?

Kboix -> “k’boysh”

Do you get used to the narrowness? I just got a pair and man it is narrow. New Balance are best for me. This is my first Hoka. Hope it will be OK. Got it for a good price from third party retailer so can't return/swap for a wide.

Any concerns on the integrity of the bottom of the shoe long term with that outsole not being full coverage? Seems like it has potential to have that foam chewed up on rocky surfaces

I love my 1080 V 12’s so I just bought a pair of these to see how I like it with longer training runs that I’m not worried about time. I’m certainly not worried about how I look like the previous comment. I’m 54 and have had four knee surgeries and I’m looking for anything I can do to keep these two original knees running on air.. a lot of people talk about them slowing them down but I’m just trying to get two hour and 10 minute half marathons.

Great video.. quick question.. how is the sizing

Can you wear these casually and to the gym?

Great review! I wonder if you can tell me about this size, Normally I wear size 12.5 or 13 (narrow 🦶🏽) so should I stick with my regular size ? Thanks

Hello cody is this midsole softer plush ???

Whats the weight. Hows the fit
