Tried these at a fleet feet event. Waited an hr before the group run started, my calves were getting so tired . Definitely a shoe to wear where you are not waiting a long time to start your race and get them off as soon as the race is over

it's amazing how you said everything exactly as I feel about this shoe
@Chungdol9 ай бұрын
Sounds like this shoe is like the Prime X2 for me... as long I run on the middle of a road, or on smooth pavement, shoe is superb, but as soon the road falls of to one site or gets bumbs - the shoe turns into an unpleasent mess. I have the first wave rebellion pro in the kakizome color, for collecting reasons, I'm too slow for it anyway, was hoping the RP2 gets more forgiving in the second version, but still too dope for me. Looking forward to your WR Flash review
@cameronmullen83119 ай бұрын
on the heel drop feel/specs discrepancies, it’s likely because the heel measurement provided is measured closer to the back of the shoe. I work at a running store and a mizuno rep told us that towards the middle of the shoe (just before the back of the midsole cuts away) is close to 50mm. this was so they could get as much foam as possible and also avoid the WA max of 40mm. love your videos!

I have the same issues in my Prime X Strung on cambered road’s, especially with my left ankle. I volunteered in the finish chute at the Atlanta marathon this year and watched a few people trying not to roll an ankle while walking in the rebellion pro after their race.

Thanks for the reviews. Noticed you aren’t really doing Nike comparisons anymore. It’s cool to see reviews on diverse brands but it would be good to see how they benchmark vs the top of the line racing Nikes.
@siddharth44828 ай бұрын
I second that. And personally I feel that Nike shoes have dipped in quality, keeping vaporfly aside. Pictures look great but when you order in , the quality seems flimsy. Performance has dipped too. Now with asics, Hoka and saucony innovating

NB is exactly what popped into my mind looking at the outsole. My first pair of running shoes was a Mizuno Wave Prophecy (V1). I put over a thousand miles on those, and they barely look used! Those things were indestructible 13oz tanks. Glad to see Mizuno taking some big risks even if they don't pan out for everyone.

I kind of prefer the colorway of the older Rebellion Pro 1. It reminded me of those urban camo wraps that car makers put on their test vehicles -- which exactly matched Mizuno's experimental vibe.

I had a similar experience with the WRP2. When I land on the sweet spot, it’s a super energetic, almost AlphaFly level propulsion. But for a race shoe, it requires a little too much conscious thought to maximize the effect. Other shoes, I could just set and forget. Maybe if they kept the revamped Enerzy Lite+ but went back to a less aggressive bevel, it would be more accessible. 🤷♂️
@olli-perttikojo44249 ай бұрын
This one is not for heelstrikers. For obvious reasons. There is a big speed bump after heel. For midfoot and forefoot strikers only. Or, say, under 3h heelstrikers maybe. Also 2 mm drop is measured from that 38mm heel, the real drop from highest pointi is over 10mm. And u can feel it.

Currently have v1, while normally I love soft I have grown to love firmness in racing shoes. In fact, I like my vaporflys MORE now that they are over 250 miles because they are that much more firmer. What's your favorite firm racing shoe?
@GuitaristDanH9 ай бұрын
Does the lack of heel support make these uncomfortable to walk or stand around in? The shape makes me worry I'd fall backwards waiting at the start line.

Yo Ko, I got the rebellion pro 2 in 9,5 (same as the 1st version) but I’m usually a size 9. Size 9.5 fits perfectly, like any other 9us shoes. So for the flash 2, would you go 9.5 too or stay with 9?

Most of the super shoes are kind of ugly imho. But obviously function takes precedent of form. Since they are made for a specific purpose rather than fashion.
