Ran my first couple of miles in these. They’re ok. Not nearly as cushioned as the Vomero 18s I’ve been running in. I’m sure they’ll break in, but I’m not seeing the hype (yet).

They shine when you push the pace, were you doing daily easy miles?

For me, I really enjoy the EVO SLs when I'm running sub8. YMMV though.
I almost scooped up the Sand Adios Pro 4 (Golden Friezas) from DSG for ~$170. Ultimately, I held off. Will wait for at most $120 shipped.

Give them some more runs to break in and for your body to get used to the geometry. For me the first time I did a speed workout I thought I was going to fly out of the shoes.

Also, first sighting of the Endorphin Speed 6 up on Scheels-using a new version of PWRRUN PB called "PWRRUN PBX" that's supposedly lighter and bouncier-nice to see Saucony shaking up this foam finally.

The upper reminds me of the EVO SL EXOs. Maybe I’ll pass on the discounted v5s now lol

Perhaps a bit more stack in the forefoot with a later-stage rocker?

The rocker looks sweet. Hearing stack increased over the Speed 5 by 2mm from 36/28 to 38/30 in the heel and forefoot respectively. Should be nice for longer efforts

from what i've tried on the ES6, super good shoe and might be my favorite of all the speeds to release to date

Getting a baseline of my OG EVO SL on this short run for future comparisons

I feel like I got too many shoes I want to run in and not enough mileage to get to them. Need to stop reading reviews unless I truly need a new pair. But then again this is NT.
Less than 75 miles on these. Probably 4-5 years old since I made them with my girls. Warm up on the way to the track for 6 x 800s and they exploded.
Did the workout anyways - not sure if that was smart. Would have love to keep these but they’ll have to go. I have a hard time tossing shoes (even if they are used and beat up running shoes) also.
Wear your shoes.

Holy Topo! I was hype for the latest Specter with a full ATPU midsole but they're dropping a legit race shoe in August it sounds like.

First run straight out of the box for these Bob Marley EVO SL Wovens.
FIT: Opted for TTS (same as the OG mesh iteration); however, I feel like I could have gone +1/2, which is what I’ve been opting for for my recent trainer/racer purchases now and will continue for the future. Otherwise, they felt good in my previous usual go-to size overall.
FEEL: Although this woven version sacrifices ventilation and breathability, it felt more structured overall. It comes down to your preferences. For me, I prefer the woven version more for performance.
RIDE: IDENTICAL to the OGs, IMHO. The Lightstrike Pro midsole feels better and better as you push the pace faster and faster. They became really fun to run when I got down to the sub7s.
However, during my warm-up and cool-down "runs", I felt discomfort towards the my lateral left forefoot, which I think is due to sizing. The Lightstrike Pro midsole feels mediocre and dull.
Warm-Up
Cool-Down
For reference, my warm-up and cool-down runs are when I don't pause my Garmin when waiting at stoplights, and my form during them almost looks like how Jack Sparrow runs LOL! I really DGAF
when I'm doing these. It's really... get from point A to point B. The discomfort dissipated, as I got into my real run.
Without any carbon fiber in its construction, the EVO SL is one of those trainers that EQUALLY reciprocates the energy that you put into it. In other words, what you put in is what you'll get out of them. YMMV.
