They have the same stack height(38mm). The more v4 has less stack height(32,5mm)and bottoms out very quickly. I hope the 1080 can do better!

I think if NB would have put the MV4 rocker on the v13 it would have been a bigger hit.

Interesting! I got the Nimbus 25 a few weeks ago for walking, and while they're super comfy/squishy... ngl walking in such a high stack has taken me a while to get used to. I do still prefer my Nike Invincible 2's when walking my dog if I'm honest. Also, I wonder what Nike has planned for the eventual Invincible 4 release, or whether there's another shoe out there that gives a similar Invincible 2 bouncy cushioned vibe?

I'm gonna pick up the Nike Vomero 17 and see how it compares to these two. Has the zoomx but also a bottom layer of Cushlon foam for stability

Are you going to review the Cumulus 26 ?

This comparison raises curiosity about the 'NB More v5'. Personally, I would love to see a 'More 5' stable enough to compete with Kayano 30, but of course Nimbus 25 would seem the more obvious target.

[@supwell]

the new vongo v6 from new balance seems like a good competitor to the kayano. it's like the 1080 with firmer foam for stability

​@@supwellnot from comparisons I've seen they really don't compare with the new models.
