New Balance FuelCell 890v8 Initial Review, Shoe Details, and Comparisons
New Balance FuelCell 890v8 ($120)
Introduction
The 890 changes quite radically, yet again, getting a full Fuel Cell midsole replacing the prior RevLite. It gains 1.5 oz / 42 g coming in at 8.4 oz / 238g for its 25mm heel /19 mm forefoot, 6mm drop. The upper changes from engineered knit to engineered mesh.The outsole is a combination of Ground Contact RevLite and rubber. $120. Available now.
The blue _is_ the revlite. You'll feel the rebound at sub 7:00 min mile paces. There's a pretty decent little rocker to the toe-off due to it being v stiff behind the flex point showed in the video. Not a slow day shoe, but fun at pace.

Hi Sam,
ReplyDeleteI can't find your RW coupon code for 10% on the site. Do you no longer offer that discount?
Thanks,
John
