Connectivity Gimmick

The MapMyRun connectivity is more marketing than utility. The shoe fails at basic running performance.

Poor Ride Quality

The HOVR foam feels dead and unresponsive. No energy return despite marketing claims.

Build Quality Issues

Upper durability is poor, with visible wear after minimal use. Not built for serious running.

Not Recommended

Save your money and buy from established running brands with proven track records.

Pros

  • Connectivity features for tech enthusiasts

Cons

  • Poor running performance
