The fact they're even considering it shows the issue IMO.

I was amazed last year at London to see people running in the Next% when they had bought them literally the day before. Mind you, I think the difference from the 4% to the Nexts is smaller than with the Alpha's, at least visually.

waiting for feedback from others Lee, on these and the new Adidas ones too. The reviews I’ve heard on the Hoka haven’t been amazing so perhaps Nike have the overall formula just right?

You in?

WW - Not sure?

I love Brooks and do most of my training in their shoes (Ghost and Launch).

I also have a pair of T7 Racers that were awesome for 10k races. Gutted you can’t get them anymore!

Brooks have always been my brand!

However I love my Nike 4%’s and see no reason, as with my training shoes mentioned above to change? If I could I would buy another pair rather than the new Alphafly NEXT%, but Nike don’t sell them anymore!

How’s the Achilles now mate?

Thanks JDA!

Need to justify to myself paying £167, when the other pair only have 56 miles on them! 😄

His twitter profile says he's sponsored by On Running - with or without their blessing I wonder .......
