Given that the Nike Air Max 97 Donne Instinct 1.5 received mostly just a cosmetic update to the upper, I’m not going to go in depth regarding fit and function since I covered them in my review of the original Altra Instinct and not much has changed in these areas. In a nutshell, the Instinct 1.5 is exceptionally roomy in the forefoot (think Birkenstock or Croc shape – see photos below), zero drop (16.5 mm stack height without an insole, 3mm and 5mm insoles come with the shoes), and very firm underfoot. This is definitely not a cushy shoe, but I have run double-digit single-run mileage in the original Instincts without issue. It is also a fairly stiff shoe and runs right around 10oz in size 10, so it’s not a featherweight. However, a good chunk of the weight comes from the full-coverage rubber outsole, and thus I expect Nike Air Force 1 Femme that they will be extremely durable.As mentioned, Nike Air Force 1 Womens the big change here is to the upper. Compared to the original, the new Instinct simply looks great, and the upper is both breathable and very well constructed. Comfort is fantastic, and I get no hotspots while running in the shoe. If you want a super roomy, firm, zero drop shoe that should last a good long time this shoe should be at the top of your list.On a side note, it’s been really interesting to watch Altra develop as a company, and to see how much they have improved their footwear offerings in their second iterations. Of all the new shoe companies that have popped up over the past few years following the minimalist wave, my bet is that Altra has the best chance of growing into a major player in the running shoe market. The company knows runners, and they have cultivated Nike Air Max 2016 Femme a group of almost fanatical enthusiasts (the Altra Nike Air Max 270 Femme Maniacs). Their last shape is indeed unique in the market, and for the wide forefooted (is that a word???) they are one of the best footwear options of any type out there. What’s more, they have a great lineup of shoes set to be released in early 2013.
I’ll finish this quasi-review off with one more story. I ran 4 miles in the Instinct 1.5’s earlier today while pushing my little guy in the jogging stroller. We stopped to pick up my older kids at their school at the end of the run, and while we were getting ready to head home a guy walked by and said to me “How do you like the new ones?” At first I had no idea what he was talking about. “New what?” I replied. He lifted up his pant leg and then pointed at my shoes. Altra Intuition 1.5He was wearing the original black Instincts. Nike Air Vapormax Femme “The new Altras” he said, “I love running in these.” Nike Air Max TN Donne Seems to be a common refrain among those who have tried them.A contributor (thanks Nick!) to the Running Shoes community on Google+ shared a link today to an article on Wired that discusses former Vibram USA CEO Tony Post’s latest project. Post resigned his position with Vibram this past summer, and at the time there was some speculation as to the reason why he decided to step down. My guess was that after leading the company during the toe-shoe boom, he was well aware that sales of the shoes were starting to cool and he jumped ship.Another possible reason why Post left Vibram is that the company is in a bit of a sticky position since they make soles for other brands (e.g., New Balance, Merrell), and for that business to continue they can’t also be a direct competitor to Balenciaga Triple S Mens those brands in the footwear market. As a result, they are Balenciaga Triple S Femme somewhat boxed into making toe shoes since making more traditional shoes without individual toe pockets would put them in that competitive zone and risk their sole business. If he wanted to innovate, which it seems Post was keen to do, staying with Vibram would have really limited his options.
The Wired article indicates that Post has indeed been up to something since leaving Vibram, though details are scant at this point. What we do know is that he’s started a new company called Topo Athletic and has $5 million in venture capital backing him. As for what products Topo will be releasing, initial offerings will be revealed at the Outdoor Retailer Show in January. Wired also quotes Post as saying “This is not another toe Nike Air Presto Hombre shoe…This is completely different |
