Sneakers Marais Bianco | 7 Ben je benieuwd welke sneakers er deze week nog meer zullen droppen in 2023

It's a comfy daily running shoe. It can go fast. It can go far. In the words of an expert, the Novablast 3 from ASICS "sets the standard for what a daily trainer should be." What's more, you can race in it in your next marathon too. Talk about versatility! And if you want a light shoe that won't drag you down, the ASICS Novablast 3 is the all-rounder you need.

The Speedgoat 5 from Hoka remains your reliable and great-value do-everything trail shoe. But if you want to bring the best out of it, fast runs on very technical terrains can do the trick. On top of this, it ticks all the boxes of an excellent trail shoe. It's insanely grippy, durable, and supportive; conquering the great outdoors is an easy feat. Overall, take the Hoka Speedgoat 5 if you want to go fast and far.

Its sparky and rock-steady ride leaves its competitors to dust. We’re talking about the Endorphin Speed 3, a feather-light kick that we picked as the perfect match for speed workouts.

Whether in the lab or on the track, this speedster can perform. Its natural and pure bounce is off the charts, filling our transitions with top-notch smoothness. It’s ridiculously pliable for a plated shoe, scoring 23.5N in our 90º bending test. A lower value boot higher flexibility, and this reading sits an astonishing 26.1% below average, overflowing with wild and liberating vibes.

The Endorphin Speed midsole exudes confidence, keeping our strides secure and stable. Its stretchy upper enveloped our feet perfectly, allowing us to focus on hitting faster splits. Plus, weighing 212 grams (7.5 oz) the Speed 3 felt insanely light on the foot, letting us move with effortless agility. For comparison, the average speed trainer clocks in at 248 grams (8.7 oz).

However, as a result of its surprisingly bendable plate, the Endorphin Speed 3 lacks some of the explosive power that this age of super shoes got us used to.

Soar through the skies with the Metaspeed Sky+ from ASICS. It's a marathon racer that's filled with all the responsiveness and pop you need to reach that finish line fast. And if you're looking for something light, this IS light. Even more, it's not the just perfect pair for race day; you can also lace it up for faster training sessions.

The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22 feels as stable as a four-wheel bike, delightfully providing support to overpronators with unmatched composure under any conditions. Because of this, it is, without a doubt, our #1 best stability running shoe for men.

It’s comforting when we can fully trust our gait to the shoes. We sure felt the guide rails of the Adrenaline 22 diligently guiding our feet back into their optimal alignment. Moreover, the average-hard midsole is generously wide, confidently smashing the uneven ground with great stability.

We can attribute this stability to the wide platform. Our caliper measurements revealed the midsole width to go beyond the average by 4.3 mm at the forefoot and 7.4 mm at the heel, sitting at 116.3 mm and 96.6 mm, respectively.

Adding to the overall stability, the upper materials deliver a secure and snug fit. The heel counter bodyguarded our heels like royalty, keeping them securely in place and minimizing unwanted movement. Another noteworthy feature is the grippy and robust outsole. It scored a massive 87.0 HC in our durometer and rubber this hard is expected to last a very long time.

Men who are not used to an aggressive drop should look elsewhere since the Adrenaline GTS 22 has an unusually high drop of 14.7 mm, way beyond the average of 8.9 mm.

Comfier miles are in sight with the 25th version of the Gel Nimbus series. These good-looking daily trainers not only turn heads but make feet happy as well. With a plush material underfoot and a super comfy upper that lets feet feel welcome and secure, these neutral runners from ASICS make easy miles feel so much easier. As an added bonus, eco-friendly runners can celebrate with these sustainable trainers.

With its seamless transitions and responsive ride, the Deviate Nitro 2 emerges as our best daily trainer. It masters performance without overlooking comfort, taking on any pace or conditions with unmatched grace.

Our legs relished the buttery midsole that gently pampered our every stride. Testing the foam with our durometer revealed a 35% softer than average reading, lovely numbers for a do-it-all shoe. Also, we felt the Pumagrip’s remarkable traction overpowering the elements, gripping even wintery asphalt or light trails. 

The Deviate Nitro 2 features a snappy carbon plate nestled Wang the midsole, delivering a spicy burst of stiffness during toe-offs. It fought back with a forceful 58.8N to our 90º bending test in the lab, emerging as 42.1% stiffer than average. Surprisingly enough, these numbers put it among the most flexible plated shoes out there, ensuring the performance factor doesn't stand in the way of the plush cushioning.

We do not recommend this PUMA for men seeking a quick and nimble kick to take on the fastest workouts. Weighing in at 257 grams (9.1 oz), it leans towards the heavier side compared to speed-focused shoes.
