If NB wants to release a flyknit wannabe, fine, but they should also continue making a traditional tempo shoe like the 890 V6 and earlier. I basically have to switch brands now.<br /><br />Where I run, knit uppers disintegrate due to the wet weather and climate. They are also too breathable. The 890 V6 was pretty much the perfect shoe.<br /><br />Can I just say that the shoe is idiotic look also? I have large feet and these types of uppers make them look like skies.Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-60862449277261871672019-03-29T16:38:23.046-06:002019-03-29T16:38:23.046-06:00Great review!

I am already a huge fan of the Zante (new Pursuit...whee! and Solas...WOW!!) and Beacon (happy easy run days but if the legs feel fresh and want to go fast, I have pulled some speedy 21k paces in them). I think I will order the Boston v7 pair and give them a whirl. I love the Zante Solas for speedwork and tempo runs (practically feels like running barefoot). I bet these will be great for long runs at marathon race-pace practice.

I like some of the latest releases from NB. The Beacon is amazing, the 1080v9 is a complete revolution compared to the v8. Not a massive fan of the Zante v4 and not tried the new Pursuit, but this looks interesting and looking to try more revlite shoes as I was impressed with the 1400v6.Kevin J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11320356881464559845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-90866964971088282082019-02-10T08:18:35.159-07:002019-02-10T08:18:35.159-07:00thanks for the quick reply.

It has a greater drop (less forefoot cushion the difference) both which I find useful for racing shorter distances It's weight is within a tenth or so of the 890v7. Still more testing to come but the 1400 likely is more flexible while the 890 v7 is stiffer in flex. The shoe which may be less relevant is the 1500 as a light stability racer.<br />Sam,EditorSam Winebaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969086391170473784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-9803014274430698432019-02-10T06:35:14.548-07:002019-02-10T06:35:14.548-07:00Thanks for this Sam.

It is great to see a new training shoe going against the general trend to softness.

Vomero 14 has more and somewhat softer cushioning at the heel and has a distinct forward flex point which so far 890v7 lacks. Vomero 14 is easier to run slower than 890 and is more trainer oriented. It also has for me as a very easy and quite snappy forefoot to toe off from. It is heavier in weight and feel but a great trainer which loves to go fast.

It is less daily trainer (expect maybe for those seeking a fairly firm training ride) than faster workouts shoe. The question our further testing may answer is will be get more flexible and develop a more distinct flex point as Beacon and 890v6 have.<br />Sam, EditorSam Winebaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969086391170473784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-27713413500904544422019-02-10T05:21:08.120-07:002019-02-10T05:21:08.120-07:00I personally prefer my daily training shoes to be ...I personally prefer my daily training shoes to be softer and save firm ones for races. this shoe has the potential to be better than the beacon for being more structured and lighter.

The upper reminds me of the Escalante Racer’s knit and the Ground Contact application for Revlite is very intriguing. I’m not a big fan of Revlite in the models I’ve tried it in (too harsh), but would certainly be willing to give it a chance based on what I see here. I loved the Ground Contact Fresh Foam in the Beacon, but like many felt the upper was sloppy and too hot during the summer and the ride a little unstable at speed. Still, it was one of my favorite shoes of last year and ones that I found myself reaching for without thinking, even for casual wear. Looking forward to the full review on this.
