PositiveAbout 100 km across two pairs. The bouncy top layer and plate give a smooth, stable ride that stretches to tempo and marathon pace, though easy, recovery and long runs are its strength. It fits long, so a half size down is needed; the heel winglets pressed on the outside edge for this hard supinator, and the last eyelet's lace can turn over and rub the ankle, which others have reported causing blisters.

PositiveOverwhelming cushion and a fun bounce, best between marathon pace and half pace, where running felt light and easy. A bit heavy (265 g) for fast running, and the upper is stiff and roomy. Good for long runs, LT runs, jogs and sub-3 to sub-4 marathons.
Blog · Running Shoes Guru – Brandon Law · summarized
PositiveThe softest, bounciest and most fun super trainer he's tested, and his legs recovered well after 40 km. Very little wear at 130 km. Its big weakness is instability: he slows for corners and uneven ground, and the upper feels sloppy. $20 more than v1.
Blog · Run, Fit & Fun – Frédéric Brossard · summarized
PositiveRare durability: at 800 km the outsole looks the same as at 400 km and still grips in the wet, and the cushioning and forefoot propulsion are intact, with no holes in the mesh. The upper loosened (a wash fixed it). From ~700 km the heel started sagging inward, which is sometimes bothersome.
