Positive8.5/10. It breaks Nike cushioning records, feels incredibly plush and is surprisingly stable for its height. Its limited use cases make the price hard to justify for many; walking and short runs won't reveal its support shortcomings.

PositiveA- overall: perhaps the plushest, bounciest trainer one tester has run in, and impressively stable for its height. Great for easy runs on tired legs. The high weight limits its use, and the high-coverage outsole should justify the $230.
