361 Centauri

Take advantage of the summer sunshine and add a little spring to your stride with this selection of the latest road running shoe releases

361 – Centauri – £120.00

I’d be inclined to say this is the best shoe yet from 361! Not only is the Centauri a great running shoe, but it offers cushioning and performance that’s usually found on shoes costing anything from £40 more, so it’s great value. At this price, the shoe is one of the best-value running shoes on the market today.

The real magic in the shoe comes from the brand’s ENGAGE midsole. This TPE (thermoplastic-elastomer) material offers that now much sought-after soft, almost bouncy ride.

For such a shoe it remains stable and although not super-light (283g) its performance makes up for the weight. The smooth, energetic cushioning soaks up the impact of the road and provides a nice responsive feel when required.

A neat, engineered mesh upper has the feel of a much more expensive shoe and again demonstrates great value on offer. At this price and with this cushioning and performance the Centauri has to be one of the best-value shoes on the market today.

Lululemon – Blissfeel 2 – £133.00

With an emphasis on women’s specific fit, this shoe was created by gathering the volumetric data of one million foot scans! From this information both the upper and cushioning profile was created for a unique fit.

The result is a great fitting shoe for the female athlete that’s suitable both as an everyday running shoe as well as being capable of gym workouts and general training.

The soft, responsive midsole is light and flexible and with a broader footprint adds some stability to the foot when both running and in the gym.

An engineered mesh seamless upper provides good all-around support as well as breathability and flexibility for a neat, uncomplicated fit.

Here in a special-edition colourway in collaboration with fashion brand ROXY, the Wave Rider sees its 26th generation update. One of the most popular neutral everyday training shoes, the update sees an increase in the cushioning with a 2mm deeper ENERZY foam midsole. The ENERZY foam combined with the brand’s Waveplate technology gives a soft, smooth, stable and responsive ride that’s capable of high mileage and everyday miles.
