5 Running Shoes the Entire Supwell Team Loves

When the whole team agrees on a shoe, you know it’s serious. From the ultra-light bounce of the Xiaonian to the pure race-day electricity of the Fast-R 3, every shoe here brings something unique that keeps us coming back for more. The Vomero Plus delivers that plush daily comfort, while the Red Hare 9 Ultra and Streakfly 2 round things out with speed, versatility, and a ride we keep reaching for week after week.

What we love about the Dynafish Xiaonian:

• Amazing stack-weight ratio with an incredibly-lightweight construction
• Blends a bouncy ATPU foam with an Evo SL-like rocker
