Saucony Ride 19 Review: The Tribe Has Spoken
The show Survivor had a chokehold on my house growing up. Every Wednesday night at 7, we all found our spot in the living room, and once it started, that was it. No talking, no distractions; season after season. I had the official book from the first season, a Survivor watch, and at school, we […]
Mizuno Neo Zen 2 Review: More Grounded, Still Fun
Thirty-one years ago, Disney released its greatest animated movie: A Goofy Movie. Rewatchable, endlessly quotable, and featuring the iconic song “I2I,” it’s a classic I’ve loved sharing with my sons. But did you know there was a sequel? Six years later, An Extremely Goofy Movie arrived. Not quite as chaotic or full of “goofy” energy, […]
Brooks Glycerin Flex Review: Gotta Run ‘Em All
Pokémon has officially taken over my house. Every room has at least one stray card, and it has quietly turned into an unspoken competition between me and Ellis. Do I have more running shoes than he has Pokémon cards? I’m not one to lose a competition, and with the cards quickly stacking up, it only […]
Adidas Adizero Takumi Sen 11 Review: It’s Turbo Time!
Watching Jingle All the Way with my family reminded me how ridiculous waiting can feel when something is hyped and just out of reach. In the movie, it was the Turbo Man doll. For me, it was the Takumi Sen 11 and missing out on the initial small US release, followed by the slow crawl […]
Hoka Mafate X Review: Tall Order for the Trails
I get embarrassed easily. It’s been that way for as long as I can remember. I even feel secondhand embarrassment at a level most people can’t quite believe. So, during the second half of my oldest’s last soccer game, it was only fitting that I found myself living a moment straight out of a blooper […]
On Cloudsurfer Max Review: Substance in the Stratosphere?
Style is what grabs your attention first. It’s the thing that makes you stop and take a closer look, whether it’s a flashy GPS watch or a running shoe that just looks fast. Substance is what keeps you coming back. It’s the performance, the durability, the feel underfoot that proves this isn’t just a pretty […]
Adidas Adizero Evo SL Review: Legend or Letdown?
Released in early 2025, the Evo SL is Adidas’s daily trainer with elements taken from their race day options. The hype train left the station quickly for the Evo SL, grabbing attention from Youtube to Reddit and a chokehold on the run club scene. Hype is one thing but performance is another. Can the EVO SL bring both to the table?
Icebug Järv RB9X Review: Built on Sustainability
I’ve missed the trails. There’s a peace out there that road running just can’t match. The quiet, the trees, the occasional free protein after running through a spider web. No cars to dodge, no sidewalks to trip over; but plenty of roots to keep you honest. Just time to zone out and move through the […]
Diadora Frequenza Review: Finding the Right Frequency
Running has a rhythm. It’s not just about speed but finding a pace that feels right and settling into a groove. Finding the right frequency is about syncing up with your body and the road until it all just clicks. And once it does, running becomes more like a flow and less like work. A […]
Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 Review: Road to Reliability
When it comes to TV shows, there are just too many options. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve spent more time scrolling than actually watching, only to end up with nothing that really sticks. In those moments, I always come back to something reliable: The Office, Seinfeld, Parks and Rec. Shows I know […]
