New Balance Supercomp Pacer V2 | First Thoughts

[@normanzielke6108]

Laura Phillip used these last week in Challenge Roth. 2:46 Marathon; 8:14 overall (3rd fastest female time in history of long course triathlon). Interestingly, Laura used Elite V2 and not V3 last year in Kona (3rd place), and now she was on the pacer V2 and not the elite V4.

Looking forward to giving it a try. I have most of the NB line, including the v1 of the Pacer, which I did not love and only wore it on the track a few times. I do HM and Marathon race (most of my races these days) in my SC Elites v.3 for HM and v.4 for Full, but will have to see where this might fit in. Thanks

[@matthiassventoest6800]

colorway is dope.. like Tiffany Dunks

[@Fullblown671]

Can't wait for the full review and comparisons.

[@sunnlands]

For the full review we want to know if the midsole in Pacer 2 got the same PEBA blend as the Rebel 4 (80% EVA / 20 % PEBA)

[@SpencerBurdge]

I think they misspoke when they said blend. When the shoe was originally announced and NB was asked in interviews, it was quoted as 100% PEBA, so the same foam as the Elite v4

[@JonathanSanders458]

Ya they shouldn't be messing this up lol

[@MidLifeRunner]

Got mine pre-ordered! Thanks Fam 🙌🏼

[@vincewarne228]

This year’s NB shoes are looking way better.

[@Omar_Little]

That t-shirt is wild😂

[@LancePeterman]

Rebel with a plate sums it up. Not sure I want to pay $200 just for a race day shoe, but this one is intriguing for sure.

[@nicholas5396]

So it's a Rebel without a cause😂

[@samesparza2149]

The elite is really the rebel with the plate.

[@nicholas5396]

@samesparza2149 sorta but the elite has higher stack height for marathon duration efforts

[@JonathanSanders458]

Full peba midsole is very different than rebel eva peba blend

[@kiteracer2497]

It looks good af

[@sennysoon]

It's the same price as the metaspeed sky/edge paris on RW in Aus...I guess it's good for NB that their competition sells out so quickly.

[@southernhillbill]

Which one would you take for a 5k race, the Takumi Sen, Pacer V2, or the streak fly?

[@Believeintherun]

Pacer 2, the plate gives that extra 💃🏼

[@stenna9274]

When Thomas started talking about the old Pacer I thought he was going to bring out an ooold shoe, but then I realized I confused the Pacer with the Vazee Pace. Anybody remember those?

[@gundamzaku214]

hahaha, you just literally pulled another shoe out of your back pocket, that's awesome!!!!!!

[@trinityholmes3234]

Where is Meg’s shirt from?

[@Believeintherun]

Limited run that they were selling at Western States

[@CannabisTechLife]

lmfao at the shoe in the back shorts. That was great.

[@Believeintherun]

Real Fanny pack

[@A_SEGA_Dremcast]

Keep that mf thang on him

[@akapantsusenpai181]

I was like, "What shorts is Thomas wearing? Maybe the back pocket is big enough for my phone?"

[@MedicineRunner]

This vs magic speed 3 for track workouts?

[@Ben.StevenswithaV]

Imagine if this becomes more popular for race day than the Elite...

[@its1027]

Wouldn’t surprise me one bit!

[@TrailJogger]

Emily wasn't wearing this version at the trials or the New York Mini 10K

[@alfie6027]

She hasn’t been allowed to because it hadnt been registered as a prototype of the world athletics shoe compliance list

[@sigitnugroho7523]

I don't think that's the case and it's a bit weird that she wouldn't wear them in any her personal training post (to my knowledge)

[@alfie6027]

@@sigitnugroho7523 that's the reason people haven't raced in them. I'm not sure if that's specifically the reason Emily hasn't.

[@Believeintherun]

She ran Chicago in these.

[@Believeintherun]

And the marathon trials in Orlando

[@ihussain1011]

I like Megan's hair.

[@jd4033]

So it's a rebel with a plate

[@ChefB0ii-li8vo]

$200 for a race day shoe is a steal

[@F1fletch]

It’s worth the price ?

This or Balos?

[@adamryan8330]

Not even the same category of shoe. One is a super trainer, the other is a racer.

[@insomniaforever6444]

Bit disappointed in the BTR team saying it is a PEBA blend and doing the same again in their podcast. Running Warehouse did an interview with NB rep 7 months ago with the specs. For shoe reviewers they get it wrong a lot. They are entertaining but I don't think I'll be relying on them for shoe reviews going forward. Entertainment yes! 🙂

[@xyzyyy2969]

Emily Sisson shoe?

[@jimoconnor8597]

Yep

[@jeroen1989]

Vs takumi sen?

[@Believeintherun]

Trainer is for daily, these are racing

[@Manuel-901]

Hi everyone. $200= No for me. Like to Meaghan and Thomas. Have a good day.

[@seegee1613]

Is this the same midsole as the elite v4?

[@Believeintherun]

No

[@chrisjefferis1930]

stop using ounces! nobody knows what an ounce is outside the US. Ounces are ridiculous.

[@KoIhara]

It’s okay, the key takeaways turn out to be pretty round numbers. 10oz is my cutoff for “heavy even for daily trainers” and 8oz is roughly the expectation for lightweight speed day shoes

[@Believeintherun]

Google does a good job converting

[@Silverspy97]

They live in the US...

[@mjcau]

1 oz = 28.35g

[@adamryan8330]

Canada here, much rather oz for weight tbh.
