I appreciate the review and agree with all of it. The quiet confidence in this shoe without it feeling wild is like it has a professional temperament. Not like pro runner, but like a mature business professional. It just gets it done without making noise about it. I got this one because it fits my odd feet better than any other race day shoe. Great shoe for the wide foot fam, IMO.

Elite V3 is my all time favorite shoe! (I wear other shoes only to take wear and tear off the Elites.) Sad to see they got rid of the stylized bird wing logo. Huuuge step backwards aesthetically. And that's not something to underestimate. V1-V3 looked fast. And if a shoe looks fast, I feel fast. And if I feel fast I _am_ fast. Maybe the New New Balance simply means I get to stockpile Old New Balance for cheap!

Personally, this shoe isn’t a fast racing shoes(5k-10k-21k). It’s more of a cruise control type of shoe for the marathon. The more voluminous fit should help with the swelling of the feet and the less aggressive feeling will be appreciated at the end of the race when your running form start to get sloppy. As you say, it’s a shoe that grows on you.

Interesting. If nothing else, it's a gorgeous shoe. Any word on whether it will be available in wide fit for us toe splayers? I'm so hesitant to get racing shoes because I'm worried how my toes will fare all cramped in under a carbon plate. Do you think the regular version is wide enough? I've heard mixed things about the Saucony Pro, some say the fit is accommodating, others say it has a narrow toe box and that the Saucony Elite is actually more accommodating of splaying feet. Right now I;m using the Rebel v3 as my tempo shoe, and the Saucony Speed (wide fit, not available on the pro) as my tempo/ long run at race pace shoes. I have the New Balance 1080 as a daily/recover runner, but this seems to be very different in feel from that shoe. Did you find the weight noticeable?

I have both the v.3 and now the v.4 and although my first impression of the v.4 was underwhelming it has, as you mentioned, grown on me fast. The upper is by far better, for me, than the v.3 which I had two hot spot areas, one which required "surgery" on my part. I do think the v.3's midsole was more "fun" (bouncy and cushioned), but the v.4 is going to be a great marathon shoe and having done my long runs in them I can tell I will, as usual with NB, not ever have to think about my feet. As for pairing, I would substitute the 1080 v.13 instead of the More v.4 because the latter is just a bit too clunky and heavy for me. BTW, I have the Endorphin Pro 3 and much prefer the NB SC Elite v.4. Thanks for your review and happy running.

I've thought about the 1080v13 as the pairing option, but the way they've changed the 1080v13 makes it feel more like an alternative to the Rebel v4 rather than a complement. but it is pretty comfy, so I could see it in the way you describe

Just like the Cielo X1, these brands can’t keep coming out with Vaporfly and Alphafly competitors that are over an ounce heavier. I don’t care what tech they say they added to it to make the weight not as noticeable, like the Cielo X1 and the aggressive rocker, you can’t make up for being that much heavier. The Vaporfly is still king, almost 2 ounces lighter than this and over 2 ounces lighter than the Cielo X1. Whoever is in marketing and engineering at these companies needs to be more aggressive with saving weight

my recommendation is to not just take a recommendation but to try them on and test them out, also in a very long run. Every foot and biomechanics are different, for me the Vaporfly 2 did not fit (1 and 3 are fine), the Adios Pro 3 gives me blisters unless I wear very thick socks, Endorphin Pro 3 rocker doesn't match my metatarsal joint and so on. Look for top tier shoes and depending on budget current or last years version. I would count Alphafly, Vaporfly, Adios Pro, Endorphin Pro 3/Elite, Metaspeed Sky/Edge, Rocket X 2 (not 1), SC Elite 4 (not 1-3), Cloudboom Echo 3 (not 1,2) and Fast-R2 as top tier but that is up for debate.

I agree vehemently with @run-o-phil that everyone needs to go to a brick and mortar store to compare all these shoes on your feet, with your gait (most stores have a treadmill but many also allow you to run outside) at various paces. Reviews such as Kofuzi’s are extremely helpful in narrowing down the options, but ultimately our biomechanics are unique and varied and you will know very quickly which ones work for you-and more critically, which ones to eliminate from consideration. If you’re lucky to have an independent running store with a good selection of at least many of the options and a staff comprising real runners and shoe geeks, they will help you with sizing (which varies considerably not only between brands but in same models year to year) and they will accept returns if a shoe doesn’t work out for you. Finally, my favorite such store gives me a sizable “club”/loyalty discount which is particularly significant on these high-priced super shoes. But again, the main point: try them on for yourself.

I get that a lot from comments on KZbin. i'm not sure the similarities are as prominent irl, but maybe I'm just hypersensitive to whatever I think looks like low poly art (which I love) and things that are just angular

It may look a little like it but certainly does not run like it - btw they should focus on their own and not try to copy off of top proven marathon shoes - yes there is a little borrowing that always goes on but be your own and not someone else's shoe.

Is it true to size? Like sc elite 3?

Great take. I def think this will be a great racing shoe for those who like you said, have their form struggle near the latter part of a race. A lot of racing shoes are very unforgiving when your form starts to deteriorate.

very true, and it can almost feel like you're suffering a speed penalty at that point

Great review! Matches pretty closely to what I felt in my first run in the V4 today. These will be replacing the V3s as my race shoe. I think the V3 feels more comfortable at slower paces but the V4 really wakes up for me at faster paces.
