Im all for stylish boots and appreciate that there is a premium on comfort and flexibility. However, can asics really justify 180quid for a new pair of spikes?? My favourite asics were the gel 100 Notout. Class boot and think I picked up a new pair for 70-80quid which was then considered top of the range. Are these new boots really 2x or 3x better??
Maybe il just buy another pair of 100no as iv seen some on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141423447504?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
£180 is an RRP, most retailers will sell below this price. It is still a lot of money of course, but the cost of extremely high end gear is going up across the board. Brands put all their effort, design and cutting edge tech into their top end showcase products, and the price reflects this. The main sellers are cheaper but also more standard in terms of design/materials used.
To echo the comments of Paul, it is a very impressive shoe, feels light, sturdy, and well made. The technology used all sounds great but ultimately this will be a product for the few, rather than the masses. It won't be available from huge numbers from Asics.
We have ordered some, and i might even end up with a pair myself.
