Running Shoes/Running Gear Shoes

hello!

i have been injured for 4 years, multiple surgeries, and am just getting back into running.

it seems like the shoe game has changed a TON. i don't recognize anything. i was in the pegasus for a long time, but people seem to train in much more modern shoes/modern foam now. i was in the infinity react for a bit, and it's okay. and i used to do workouts in the streak.

can someone please help me find out what is the "modern equivalent" of these now? i'm so lost with all the new options. thanks!

The Infinity React still exists and is in its 4th iteration.

Nike daily trainers have gone way down hill though, and in my experience, other brands have superseded them in this category.

Try some of the Asics trainers. The Superblast would be top of the list, but the Novablast 3 is a lot cheaper (but still awesome).

I can't say there's really an equivalent to the Streak, as racing shoes have completely changed. Maybe try the Nike Vaporfly, as it's probably the most commonly used road racing shoe these days.

thanks! i'm open to new brands tbh, i just liked the simplicity of the nike fit for me. i have'nt run in an asics in forever.

i know workout shoes have changed a lot so i'm really open to ideas. i'm coming off injuries and am a neutral shoe guy, 5'11, 160 lbs.

Everybody seems to be making good shoes these days. I used to try on a few pairs and only like one. Lately I like everything they bring out.

Go try on the neutrals trainers at a running story and pick the one that fits you best.

I found Saucony Triumph 20 great.
