The two reviews are quite different yet the same. The first review is comparing the shoe to the Next % which you would kind of do since they are similar price. The second review is saying this is a racing shoe and looking at being very different then the Nike. The both say it’s firm. One says dead because it’s not the Next % the other says firm with some life.
There is another review from an Olympic Trials Qualifier. He says it’s firm and he likes it firm. I was wrong in my assessment earlier. These ARE production shoes being reviewed. The shoe hits the market at the end of the month.
We will find out very soon how the market reacts to a firm shoe in that space.
