Run - esplanade (nike trial)

Was comtemplating on the weather if i should go for the nike trial run over at runninglabs. Coz around my area it was raining cats and dog. But looking at the rain radar and observing the movement of the rain over a period of 30mins. I decided that its not going to enter the CBD area So away i went

Came down at about 6pm and the nike shoe trial guys are already on standby. We see some new shoes like free 5.0 , nike air moto brand new out of the box for serious trial running. At first i want to go for pegasus but i feel the sole a little too thin for comfortable cushion run. So i went for the air structure triax 9 for stability and cushion.

Alot of new faces came for the run, probably becoz of the nike trial . OVer 20 people turnup, familiar faces like IMD , SV, VRP gals , Tekko, hedgehog, DR, divey, molly, catherine, kai etcThe route choosen this time was a simple run towards the esplanade park up to the kallang furniture mall and back.

After the run, we had dinner along boat quay. The guys poke fun at imd about him havin a huge fan club haha.. not to mention the gals adore him haha. Too bad ladies hes attached!

Shoe description from website
"The Nike Air Structure Triax 9 running shoe is an evolution of the franchise, offering cushioning and transition. Iconic synthetic leather midfoot saddle provides great midfoot fit. Support overlays engineered to provide flex in forefoot and additional medial overlays enhance stability. Mesh base for breathability. Soft, durable PU crash pad combines with dual-pressure heel Air-Sole® unit and footbridge to slow rate of pronation. Dual-density helps prohibit overpronation. Forefoot Air-Sole® unit disperses pressure at toe-off. Midfoot shank supports foot through midstance. W.A.R.P. Tech in forefoot reduces duration of pronation. Tri-zone outsole achieves improved transition, traction and comfort. Decoupled crash pad using BRS 1000™ for durability rides through to Waffle Fill™ traction and power-off zone. Lateral outsole with Duralon™ provides great ride."

My verdict
A good and comfortable shoe with good cushioning and stability. Did not feel any roll over or slippage. Springy for the the first 5km probably shock absorbtion kickin in. forefoot cushioning not alot. Ventilation a tad bit warm as compared to my mizuno waverider and asic race speedstar. overall a good shoe to run long distance in.
