PositiveSeriously comfy and stylish, with a sock-like Primeknit fit and solid lockdown, and 30% lighter than v22. Still relatively heavy, so they found it best for easy, relaxed runs rather than anything fast.

NegativeCouldn't run in the Ultraboost Light after modern trainers; the weight alone put them off.

MixedAbout 50 miles of testing, and they would use it as an easy-day shoe. The ride is comfortable but not energetic, and the padded heel is the most comfortable part, though they dislike the plastic midfoot cage and find the 10 oz weight heavy, so they would skip tempo days. They expect it to last 600+ miles, praise the Continental outsole, and see it as made for bigger, stronger runners.
