Heel bevel and rocker looking quite similar to the Anta Zone 2 90, just as everyone expected. Foam should be the Lightstrike Pro from the AP4 if rumors are to be believed. Design seems to be more like the Prime X Evo than the Pro Evo 3 or AP5. Release should be soon.
EDIT: More pictures.

I’ve been running for about 6 weeks! I got up to 10 miles last week and then my right knee started to give me a ton of pain. After some research I realized it wasn’t a great idea to be using the same shoe for everything (the shoe was Nike Downshifters 11). While I’ve been resting I’ve been trying to find the right shoe for me, went to a store and got my foot scanned and tried on a ton of shoes I narrowed it down to three options.
I was gonna just get the ASICS superblast because, if I’m being honest, that heatmap design was calling me name. HOWEVER, the fabric on top of the toe box kept doing this concave thing and it was weird and kinda bothered me….
I don’t know what shoe to pick, especially because they both feel very very similar to me.
I’m a 21 year old female, training for my first ever half in mid November. I have low arches, my right leg is rigid and my left is flexible. Most of my pressure is in my arches.
I currently have thoses Nike Downshifters and I just thrifted some brand new asics GT-1000 for my easy run days
Please help i currently have evo sl which i can exchange in 14 days window
Which is better overall
Thank you for your advice
Yeah yeah.
I went to my local running store to ask something else. Nothing running related. Literally was trying to get info on the store across them if they would open again or they were closed for good.
After 30 minutes and some conversations. Ended up buying Currex Insoles. Low profile for neutral.
What’s everyone’s input on this topic? Do you run with insoles or do you skip them all together?
What is recommended?
I'm unable to decide if it's too much or not. My foot size is 26.1cm. this is puma ftr wave running shoes, 8 UK (27cm). I ran a bit, felt comfy. Walked, comfy but here back of my heel, I can feel like v v v lil bit coming out, I'm not sure. Did chest day, comfy. Please help me decide.
Also the lace are not super tight irrespective of how tight I'm tying. I used impakto barefoot shoes which has no lace and it was good tight fit for me.
Thoughts on the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25? Currently not liking NB 5
Despite costing double the Adios Pro 4, the Prime X Evo came out behind it across nearly every metric in our STRYD comparison. The one exception: leg spring stiffness, where the Prime X Evo scored lower, pointing to a more cushioned, relaxed ride rather than a snappier one.
That actually tracks with its design brief. This is a shoe built for ultra distances up to 100km, not marathon-day speed like the Adios Pro 4.
More cushion doesn't always mean more performance, and this test is proof.

I’ve been searching for months for a proper shoe for me. I’m a heavy and tall runner, with weak knees and ankles. I require lots of cushioning, however most great cushioning shoes have the downside of being overly soft to the point they hurt my ankles.
Fell into a few popular traps:
Novablast 5: honestly great shoe, quite soft and responsive, but still lacking a bit of stability and heavy runners like me bottom it out.
Vomero plus: great impact protection and very cushiony, but incredibly unstable laterally. My foot seems to “sink away” laterally constantly leaving my ankles to hurt a ton.
Puma velocity nitro 5: great stability, responsive. Amazing daily trainer, but sadly not enough impact protection for my weak joints. It hurts my joints after a longer run.
Until I tried out the Saucony Endorphin Azura.
Finally I found a perfect mix of stability, cushioning and energy return. First run in weeks where none of my joints hurt and my ankles are pain free. Also my pace went from 7:30/km to almost 5:30/km.
The only downside to some would probably be that it doesn’t feel very plush or bouncy underfoot. To me it’s not a downside at all because it’s exactly the firmness that provides such a great stability!
From my experience and from a few other’s I’ve read: this midsole is firm to lighter runners, but to heavy runners like me they have more give and feel a little more cushiony.
TLDR: Heavy runners like me struggle finding a proper shoe that is protective, doesn’t bottom out, hurt our joints or feel dead in terms of energy return. The Azura finally solved all of that for me. Bought a second pair as a testament to how good they are for me.
