Anyone try the new Hyper Speed 6 yet?
Curious how it compares to previous models. Personally, I loved the 3/4 but didn't like the 5.
Thanks.

Couldn't get the damn thing to fit in the Millennium Falcon
So they run a bit long?
I'm curious too. The 4 was nice but the 5 was clunky as hell and make for a noisy footstrike. The 6 looks neat - looks to be a cross between the last ds racer and the hyperspeed 4. I'd like to know how it performs though.
I, too, thought the first few versions, through the 4, were incredible. I, too, did not like the 5.
I haven't actually tested the 6 myself yet, but I work at a running store and have seen/felt some that don't fit me. They seem (and I stress the word "seem") to be much closer to the 5 than the 4, both in look (shape, etc.) and feel. I won't be buying a pair, as I was hoping I might.
Take that for what its worth
I still race in the 4. What was the big difference between the 4 and 5?
Looks like the weight is dropped considerably from 5 to 6. Almost as light as the Pirhanas now.

The footbase felt much wider and thicker. The upper also felt a bit more durable (heavier maybe?). Just didn't feel like a racing flat.
First run in them today. Thumbs up. Lighter than the 5, fits like the 4, no more holes in the sole to pick up stones. Great job Asics!
