ASICS EVORIDE 2 - Initial review and first impressions

In the golden age of running shoes In some cases, the energy return can come from both the foam and a plate
In the case of the EvoRide 2 this is done through its very distinct, pronounced forefoot rocker.

It is the lightest and the cheapest of all three models in the Ride collection, It’s a daily trainer which is built for speed, unlike its bigger brothers which are built for comfort.
It has a weight of 8.22 oz  / 233g (US8.5) for the male version and  7.40 oz / 210g (US8) for the female version with a Stack Height of 25mm in the heel / 20mm in the forefoot in the male version and 26mm in the heel 21mm in the forefoot for the female version

It features the “EvoGuide” in the midsole with has a curved geometry that gives it a smoother transition which propels forward much smoother than the GlideRide.
As soon as you pick up the pace and go faster then the shoe really propels you forward.

The EvoRide features a 5 mm drop where most of the Asics flagship shoes are 10-12 mm. It has less gel, there is a little bit in the heel.
But It has plenty of blown rubber on the bottom which ensure a good grip and which is segmented on the forefoot, so the shoe flexes easier and more naturally than version 1. 
The upper is made of engineered mesh and it’s a little on the warm side because of all the padding around the collar and the tongue.
The tongue is too generously padded , it doesn’t really belong on an uptempo daily trainer like the EvoRide 2.
The collar of the heel is very well padded and it did a really good job locking my heel in place.
The shoe fits me true to size and the overall fit was perfect, with just a little bit of room on the forefoot which is wide.
Durability wise, it looks worn as a normal shoe would, even tough it's lighter.

It’s a shoe that bridges the gap between a slow daily trainer and a speedy tempo shoe. It has the feel of a carbon-plated racer but without the harshness of a carbon plate.

Disclosures: this is a pair of shoes I bought with my money, and nobody is paying me to make this video or to wear the shoes. Nobody preview my thoughts before the video is posted on YouTube.
