ReplyDeleteIs that the women's transcend? If not, do you have a picture of that?
ReplyDeleteDenise, I believe that was the women's Transcend
ReplyDeleteDisappointed they don't have a wide shoe in the transcend. I tried a pair of the gen 1which were great and corrected my foot rotation, however I came up with blisters on both feet below the toe. They were too narrow of shoe for my feet and didn't give there. So I had to go back to Kanyanos.
ReplyDeleteHope they offer a wide soon cause not everyone has normal width feet
Hi Sam. So the new Launch will come with the BioMoGo DNA midsole which the current version does not feature?
ReplyDeleteLooks like the Launch 2 is about 0.5 to 0.8 oz heavier than the original and is closer in weight to the Ghost now. Hopefully, it won't feel as "blocky" as the Ghost.
ReplyDeleteAre there going to be lots of colors in the women's shoe?
ReplyDeleteSorry Debbie I did not pay close attention to the Transcend colors. If I recall from the display maybe one other color at least. I know that sometimes while the shoe is complete functionally at such trade shows based on input from retailers other colors appear shortly after initial launch which is generally 4-6 months after such shows. The recent Running Event may have had more recent colors on display and you might find pictures by Googling Transcend 2 and/or Running Event
