جمعه 30 اردیبهشت 1401 16:55
When Mizuno sent over a couple of stability models from their 2022 lineup earlier this year, I was hesitant because I’m not a runner who needs a stability shoe.

Another day, another laceless shoe. Welcome to my Kobe AD NXT review : a one-strap-is-all-you-need sneaker by Nikey, for better or worse.

Brooks Caldera 6 Performance Review
دوشنبه 26 اردیبهشت 1401 19:46
The Brooks Caldera 6 looks like it has a huge stack height…but looks can be deceiving. You actually sit inside that monstrous max-cushioned midsole. Which is a great move on Brooks’ part. It creates a highly stable, well-cushioned trail shoe. Can it take the championship belt from the Brooks Catamount as the number...

Adidas Harden Vol 4 Review: OUTDOOR Performance Breakdown
سهشنبه 6 اردیبهشت 1401 14:09
First off, don’t get disturbed that these look HUGE on feet. Literally. The tooling is unusually very wide and I dig that a lot for a couple of reasons.

Brooks Launch 9 Performance Review
سهشنبه 2 فروردین 1401 17:37
