Nike Vaporfly 4 vs Vaporfly 3 – Back to it’s Best?
By Kieran Alger The original super shoe is back. And like the first ground-breaking Nike Vaporfly, the Vaporfly 4 looks to cut its own path, offering something different to its predecessor – and the rival race shoes in its own stable like the Alphafly 3. On the surface, the changes look quite subtle but there’s […]
Adidas Adizero Boston 13 Review – Boston Still Strong?
By Kieran Alger The Adidas Boston 12 was one of 2024’s most popular daily trainers and though there are some big changes to this latest-gen Boston 13, Adidas has tried not to mess too much with that winning formula. The stack height has dropped, there’s now more Lightstrike Pro in the forefoot and the heel […]
Nike Vaporfly 4 Review: Back to its Best?
By Kieran Alger Nike was so keen to remind the world that the Vaporfly was the original super shoe that it stamped exactly that on the side of this latest update.

New Balance 880v15 vs New Balance 1080v14 – Kings of Comfort
By Kieran Alger In past generations, you’d probably describe the New Balance 880 as a cheaper, basic alternative to the New Balance 1080. A kind of no-frills 1080. But the 880v15 has undergone a serious makeover. This much-transformed shoe now has a bigger stack, new uppers and a whole distinct ride that sets it further […]

ASICS Gel Nimbus 27 vs ASICS Gel Cumulus 27 – Stacked vs Sprightly?
By Kieran Alger Unsurprisingly for two shoes named after clouds, the Nimbus 27 and the Cumulus 27 both prioritize cushioned comfort over all out speed. But they deliver that road-taming protection in very different ways. While the ASICS Gel Nimbus 27 adds even more soft stack for a super-protective ride, the Cumulus 27 keeps things […]
Saucony Endorphin Elite 2 Review – A Fast, Fun, Wild Ride
By Kieran Alger The Saucony Endorphin Elite 2 is Saucony’s top-tier carbon racer, designed for your fastest efforts in training and racing. The original Elite divided opinion.
