Brooks Ghost Max 3 Review: Greater Than the Sum of its Parts

After reviewing a lackluster 2nd edition of the Ghost Max, my expectations for the third version were as low as the approval rating of the U.S. President (he who shall not be named). And then when I learned the 3rd version wasn’t getting any notable updates and was adding weight—again—my expectations sank even lower than the droopy, oversized tie of “he who shall not be named.” But find out why three was the lucky number this time, in this Brooks Ghost Max 3 review.

Mizuno Wave Rider 29 Review: “An Awesome Wave”

Let’s not bury the lede: the Wave Rider 29 has a plate! Before you cream your jeans, it’s not a real plate. The MIZUNO WAVE plate is made of PEBAX RNEW, a “plant-based high-performance TPU.” Told you it wasn’t the real deal. Don’t expect this plate to provide the same experience of carbon fiber or nylon plates. It doesn’t. And that’s not its purpose. The plate helps provide a more stable platform and extra cushioning. Yawn.
