Topo Athletic Cyclone 3 Sole Unit If you’ve been running for a while you might have run in traditional speed trainers or racers like the Adidas Boston (version 9 and earlier), Adidas Adios and the Nike Streak. These minimal flats were designed to be light, agile and nimble. They didn’t have much cushioning because their main objective was to be as light as possible. The Cyclone 3 falls into the same category as these speed shoes of yesteryear.

Asics S4+ Yogiri Sole Unit The S4+ Yogiri is marketed as a road racing super shoe but the bad news is that it doesn’t feel like one; it feels more like a speed trainer. The main reason for this is that it’s midsole feels firm and flat without any bounce or squishiness. It feels like they’ve tuned the FF Turbo+ foam in the S4+ to be denser and firmer: it doesn’t feel the same as in the Sky Paris/Edge Paris or the Superblast 2.
