Personally my favourite shoe. Needs break in time out of the box but once broken in it will stay in your rotation for a while. The traction works on any surface while the cushioning offers a low to the ground feeling with more than enough impact protection while still making you feel quick under foot. Everything except for the materials makes it a perfect shoe for any position looking for a do it all shoe.

The textile materials are thin, and the shoe feels minimal on foot. The shoe also doesn't feel cheap at all.
