The Atreyu Race Model is a $120 marathon racing shoe designed to offer performance in an affordable package. Like more expensive race shoes, it has a supercritical foam in the midsole and a full carbon fiber plate—but the stack height is lower, and the foam isn't PEBA. In this video, I give an overview of the race model, take it out for a first run in Savannah, Georgia and let you know my thoughts on how it compares to other shoes on the market. 0:00 - Intro 1:50 - Overview 10:46 - Art 11:52 - Midsole Compound 14:11 - Run Prep 17:10 - Initial Fit & Feel 22:53 - First Run in Savannah, GA 26:22 - Running in Forsyth Park 28:20 - Initial Thoughts after Warmup 36:33 - Mid-Workout Thoughts 44:00 - Post-Run Thoughts Find your next running shoe at Supwell.io: 1.
