PositiveRecommended for runners who value a balance of shock absorption and stability, and for relaxed-pace long runs. But at the same price the FuelCell Rebel v5 beats it for both performance and lightness.

PositiveMuch-improved cushioning that is soft but not too soft, with a strong heel hold. Specialized for gentle easy-pace running. Propulsion is restrained, it feels a bit heavy (the high collar transmits the weight when lifting the foot), and the price rose ¥2,200.

PositiveScore 8.65. A comfortable, dependable daily trainer that feels lighter than its weight suggests. Still relatively heavy for its cushioning level, and completely neutral despite the broad platform, so not for runners with any stability needs.

PositiveA-. A pleasant surprise that 'rights the ship' of this shoe line: lighter, more stable and more durable than v2. Balanced cushioning and a stable neutral ride for consistent daily miles. Cons: short laces, very low forefoot volume and a slight posterior heel flare.
