Believe in the Run
This is my favorite Brooks shoe of any I’ve run in over the last three years. It reminds me of the feeling I used to get out of the Nike Epic React, but slightly more firm. I didn’t get the exact pop I get in new React foam, or even HYPER BURST, but it does provide good energy return, especially when picking up the pace.
In colder weather (like under freezing), this foam definitely firms up. I got a couple runs in when it got back into the 50’s and it felt much better.
Also, it’s a great-looking shoe. It looks fast, and it is.
