  • The New Balance Propel v5 is a newly updated everyday shoe running designed for comfort and versatility. Priced at $120, it undercuts the rest of the mainstream daily trainer market while offering a plastic plate and a variant of the FuelCell foam used in other New Balance shoes like the Rebel and SC Trainer. In this video, I give an overview of the Propel v5, take it out for a 10 mile run and let you know my thoughts on how it stacks up.

    😂😂😂 Loving the sense of humour! I saw someone recently say "running isn't that serious", and that hit home. Unless you are running dedicated workouts, (usually in lieu of a race) don't be afraid to let loose and just enjoy the joy of running itself - no strings attached. It's a blessing! Thanks for the reminder! 🙏

    I liked the Propel V4 it provided a nice asorbing daily squishy foam with a little bit of sping. The plate in the V4 provide a nice roll and stability to the fuelcell foam for the run. The V4 been a great daily running shoe for me. Been thinking the V5 will pobably soften up. Thanks for the review, the color way is fire 🔥 BTW.

    The "Very Credible" shoe reviewer. I take my hat off to you man..... more like the triple P (PPP) reviewer: Positive, Prolific, and always Pontificating. I actually really love your channel and do "put respect" on your opinions as evidenced by the shoes I just bought (boston 12, 1080v13) AND the shoes I didn't purchase (triumph 22, 880) AND my recent dedication to the run (let's go) AND my thinner waistline (bang). Sorry about the contrarian comment. It seemed as though the last 2 minutes of the review you went on about how the hype shaped your opinion. I also got vibes of the contrarian with the Superblast as though you were ducking a more in-depth dive into the research of a shoe many people get along with. But look: many of us love what you are doing and like Neil Young says "Long may you run"........Kobe

    I always considered Propel as a light stability shoe. The foam has been firmer vs other fuel cell foams.
    As you are reviewing some lower cost shoes, would you review ASICS Noosa Tri-16? As a mid-stack shoe with updated foam, I think it might be good one to try.

      The propel v5 definitely has more bounce for a race, but the novablast 4 is a little more stable and I prefer it for everyday runs. So if you want something to put a lot of training miles on I'd go novablast 4

    Check the plate location. Runrepeat cut the propel v4 in half and the plate ended at the mid foot. I think the plate is there to stiffen up the heel. Don’t think the plate goes under the forefoot for any kind of propulsion

    • @supwell
      @supwell  13 днів тому +2

      Oh interesting. In this one I think it's full length or very close to it - they have some foam cutouts in the forefoot and I can see/feel the plate through there. So at the very least it goes up to about an inch or two from the front

    Adidas have the Adios collection which I think is specific to high performance shoes, Adizero is just the term they use for "lightweight" which is applied to all their products that they consider lightweight, like shorts, t-shirts, shirts, jackets, caps'n'hats, shoes.
    hence,
    adios (perfomance) adizero (lightweight) Pro (professional level) Evo 1 (shoe name)
    Adizero (lightweight) Boston 12 (shoe name, (no adios, no pro, a daily trainer))
    Adizero running jacket (lightweight, not a shoe)
    Adios running jacket (not a shoe, not available, doesn't exist, because it's not a shoe)
    where the actual "Adios" (shoe name) comes into this... I have no idea, possibly a flaw in the German engineering.

Where often with channels with shorter videos I will usually watch everything they put out. But maybe I'm an outlier. *shrug*

      @@lupsik1I agree. As much as I would like a shorter summary, sometimes the lengthy detail is good (helped me correctly size and order my SL2s). Plus I’m sure he prefers making longer ones. Maybe there’s an opportunity to make shorts with the essential details, but obviously that requires more work!
