I have to say that it has been a LONG time since I’ve found myself agreeing with a Kofuzi shoe review. But for this one I found myself nodding at every point in agreement as it was consistent with my own experience with this shoe. It’s definitely a super plush and comfortable shoe to pamper the legs and feet that is easy to get out and coast through sub 10mile (16k) runs. It has a great foam, that only gets better as it breaks in, that really is a joy to run in. Not just for Brooks, but any running shoe, it’s actually quite a good looking shoe. Lastly, very poor outsole rubber wear that really cut into the usability of the shoe for me. It’s nice to see we aren’t on opposite ends of everything always. Great review. Happy to see it! 🤙🏻

I'd always considered Brooks as a brand that used more rubber but it appears to be an overall trend. I don't think that you can really avoid it either. It is an incentive to fix running issues if you have uneven wear as wear can be pretty fast in that case.

I haven’t run in the 880 in a while, but conceptually, the 880 would line up more with the Ghost (non max). But in practice, I do think the experiences between the 880 and the Ghost Max would be more comparable.

I wanted to ask… don’t you guys have a feeling there is a slight decrease of interesting running shoes lately? or at least a mild shortage of exciting new releases. i mean it is apparent on the shoetubers’ content. and I don’t mean specifically you, mike, I think you maintain a solid production of new reviews compared to the others… but so long since last Cliftons, vain hype around Ons, dull Supernova series, endless wait for Boston 13s and Superblast 2s, possibly Invincibles 4s… the only exciting shoe since the beginning of the year is Rebel v4, but I am not risking them to go absolutely dead within 200k such as previous versions… luckily the trail world is having some cool stuff, but bad times on the road for a solid and performative daily trainers. amiright? probably not
