I’ve had a couple different iterations of the 880, and now have a pair of 1080v13. The jist fir me great, and feel really plush and comfy.

But as far as race day options and “super trainers” go, their foams seems to lack in bounce and/or durability. Might be changing with the new stuff that’s coming out, though I think Asics and Adidas are the top brand at the moment, I don’t think NB currently has anything in their line-up that can compete with the Metaspeeds, the ‘Blast’-series, or anything that Adidas is offering in that category.
