I mean really, the Pegs had half the upper changed, the lunarglides got a slightly new heel counter and less engineered mesh, the streak got a bigger swoosh, the vomero got a new upper, the free 5.0 got some dynamic flywire, as with the lunarspider and lunaracer. There were absolutely zero sole improvements, 2-3 good upper improvements, and a bunch of half-assed upper improvements. Nike, you better step up your game. This new Wildhorse better make up for your bad improvements.
Don't know what they're like to run in but pretty much everything Nike puts out these days is sexy as f*ck.
Don't ya know looking good is all that matters
I don't run in Nike but I've come to really despise Adidas for updating and replacing their models too frequently. Stability is a good thing and not necessarily just lack of innovation.
Cannot say for all NIKE's, but can say that the Vomero 8's are 1.2 ounces lighter for men, and feel much more like older versions of the Pegasus, which I trained in from the time they first came out. Also equal in weight to the Pegasus, with full length air, so that is a big change. Less drop for the V-8's, too.
Also a big change in the upper for Zoom Elite, should make for much less friction, and it feels much more like the original Pegasus. So much so that I have ordered a new pair, to trade off with my Zoom Elites.
So, no, these are both very good updates.
Can you tell me if the vomero 8 has returned to a more flexibly shoe? Found the 7 too stiff. Glide is flexible but the 5 will be 8 oz heavier :(
According to Runningwarehouse:
Seamless Comfort: A no-sew interior reduces friction on the foot for an irritation-free running experience.
Improved Upper Flexibility: Reduced overlays around the upper allow for a more supple and flexible fit.
Carryover Tooling: The mid and outsole carryover in this update, and should offer a similar cushioned ride.
It's only an upper improvement. I have no whether you pulled that less drop and full length air sh*t out of your a$$ or someone else's. And I did say there were 2-3 good upper updates. Vomero was one of them.
I think the new pegs are pretty sweet. The breathable ones are some of my favorite shoes ever.
Not sure about the other shoes, but even my old pair Vomero 2 are much better than the current model. I know, I pulled them from lawnmower duty and ran my long run in them Sunday.
I don't usually complain but the new model isn't close to the same feel. The Vomero was such a great, but pricey, shoe.
