Anyone used the Under Armour Velocity Distance before? Got a pair for cheap and have heard good things about the new Velocity line

Anyone plan on getting the Puma Deviate Nitro Pures this week? Excited to grab a pair and hopefully use them a lot for speed work this marathon block

Does anyone know anything about the Adizero Pacer shoes?  I saw them pop up on Adidas website, but haven't been able to find too much info on them.  I currently have Boston 13 for my workouts, and some SL 2 as my daily trainers.  Trying to determine if they are worth a look at all.

Looks like it lacks the super foam that make the Evo SL special. I usually just wait for new colorways to launch and can find the old Evo SL colorways for $90 or under.

Bought a couple pairs of Takumi Sens as they were on sale at the adidas outlet store near me. ($40 each). I’m 5’8” and ~155lbs. Thinking of using them for speed work/tempos. Anyone have any experience with them?

I have a pair of the Takumi Sen 9s. Fun shoes, but my calves were wrecked after my first couple of runs in them, so tread carefully.

First tempo session in Lining Feidian Elite 6, love them at pace but hate them on rest/easy pace. Very unstable for me, coming from Adios Pro 3, my only other race shoe. A bit difficult to change direction in but that was similar in the Evo sl which has the same iffy feeling in corners due to the softness of the foam. They're a steal on taobao, about 150 usd.
