PositiveA unique ride with high cushioning at a low price for a top model. It is still unstable (better than v1), and the rebound is only moderate.

Runners see speed and a good midsole in the Wave Rebellion Pro 2, but its geometry is the problem for many: sore legs and calves, and a heel taper that did not work.
A score out of 100 for how well reviewed a product is next to others of its kind. It rises with positive reviews and with how many there are; negative and mixed reviews take points off. The best in each category scores in the 90s.

PositiveThe most radical racing shoe he has tested. Run with purpose and the Smooth Speed Assist rocker pushes you onto the midfoot. Grip is reliable even in the wet. Recommended, but not particularly stable.
