Nike Wildhorse 10 Trail Shoes

The Author Taking Some Freshies on their Inaugural Miles

I grabbed these babies on sale at the end of last year. The Wildhorse 7s and 8s were such great winter runnners, that I kept the streak alive and picked up these 10s to supplement the Zegama 2s that I picked up last fall.

I was able to test them out on a pair of runs in snowy/icy conditions the week of New Years. Temps for both runs were in the low teens (my Camelbak hose froze up both times). My initial impression was that the midsole has gotten a bit stiffer in this iteration. In hindsight, that may have just been because of the low temps hampering elasticity. I was otherwise totally pleased with them. They breath well and I didn’t have any close calls on the ice, even on the inclines and declines. Hoping to get a lot of good miles out these during the colder months.

Nike Zegama 2 Trail Shoes

I’ll start off here with a disclaimer, that this post is not sponsored content in any fashion. I paid full retail price for these shoes. Similar to the Wildhorse, I picked these up with the winter months in mind. I was particularly drawn to them by the sub $150 price point and the Vibram sole. I have worn them on a number of trail runs in the Catskills this fall, starting with an 18 miler and a 10 miler in pretty quick sequence.Continue reading→

The Author’s Feet After a Taper Run on the Not-So-Mean Streets of Brooklyn

Since we are less than two weeks away from marathon Sunday in NYC, running is often on my mind. That being the case, I figured that I might as well drop a couple of running related posts in the interim. We’ll kick it off with a review (of sorts) for the Nike Alphalfy 3, which will be my race shoe this year.Continue reading→

Spring Running Gear – Nike Vaporfly 3

I’ll start here by saying that I wanted the Alphafly 3’s but Nike sold out of the entire men’s sizes before I had time to cop, and have been out of stock since, with no word on when they will be restocked. Maybe it has something to do with this; unclear. So I rolled the dice on the above pictured Vaporfly 3’s. I’m happy to report that I have been pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoy them.Continue reading→

Good Reads: Phil Knight’s ‘Shoe Dog’

Posted on by

I have been sitting on this one for a long time. “Shoe Dog” by Phil Knight came recommended by several friends back when it was first released. I finally knocked it out on flight last summer, but am barely getting around to posting this eightish months later. As a person who enjoys college sports, running, history and sneakers, this book checked a lot of boxes for me. Before reading this book, I had only known bits and pieces of the Nike story. My knowledge was mostly based around Prefontaine and Bowerman, but I didn’t really know much about Knight. It is a great story, and Knight is a pretty good story teller. I highly recommend checking this one out.
