ALEX: Runner, beware, this shoe is sparkly. The mermaid shimmer has been employed to various levels of success the previous few years throughout a variety of corporations and sneakers (my private favourite within the iridescent subtlety of my all-gray New Stability Supercomp Coach). Right here, it feels as if we now have swapped for a totally totally different shade palette than the earlier Noosa Tri fashions, which have been daring and saturated.
If earlier efforts had been extra like a Lichtenstein (full with Comedian Ssans “Noosa Tri” font throughout the forefoot or heel), the combo on this shoe, particularly on the midsole, appears extra like what can be left over on a painter’s palette after they had completed mixing orange. I don’t hate the look, and it has been a lot simpler to pair than the Nerf Pink/Yellow/Blue Noosa 15 colorway we examined final yr, nevertheless it doesn’t thrill me.
One thing I’ve at all times appreciated concerning the Noosa Tri is its weight, and I echo Lindsay’s feedback that for the burden and the consistency of a grippy, substantial outsole, this contender remains to be within the sport. Up to now, I’ve taken this on shorter, longer, and tempo runs, and it could be as a result of I’d been doing loads of different miles within the Asics Superblast, however I discovered the FF Blast Plus foam to be enjoyable and responsive. Nonetheless, as you quickly shall see, outcomes might fluctuate.
