What Nike says:

Bridge the gap between your weekend training run and race day in a durable design that can be deployed not just at the starting line of your favorite race but in the days and months after your conquest. It offers comfort and reliability but with a propulsive sensation that’ll help you feel fast and fresh. That kind of versatility is uncommon in the running arena. But who said you can’t have it all?

More Bounce
Newly implemented ZoomX foam in the midsole takes an already respected, trusted shoe to another performance level that wasn’t present in the Zoom Fly 4. The addition makes for a lighter, more responsive cushioning system. Take advantage of these all-purpose traits that help you run easier, faster and have more fun on your runs.

Stability Where You Need It
Both the forefoot and heel offer slightly wider bases for a stable platform, so you can tackle turns and long runs with confidence.

Stay in Rhythm
Carbon fiber plate delivers a propulsive sensation and a smooth transition at a variety of paces. The plate provides a sort of roll-forward feel that makes you want to take on the next step.

More Benefits
The upper is made with lightweight mesh for a softer, more breathable feel that conforms to your foot.
Dynamic lace-up fit and supportive containment in the midfoot wrap around your foot for a contoured and secure fit.

Rapha Men’s Cotton T-Shirt Review: Stylish, Comfortable, but a Bit Pricey

  ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ The Rapha Men’s Cotton T-Shirt delivers on style and comfort with a relaxed yet cool fit that aligns with current trends. It’s not meant to be slim-fit, and the cut feels casual and modern. Compared to previous Rapha Logo T-shirts, the sizing is now more consistent after the “size shift” last year. I used to wear an M in their older shirts, but now size S fits perfectly. The fit is similar to the older Logo T-shirts but slightly more boxy, with noticeably wider sleeves, which I think is clear in the comparison photos. Fabric and Comfort The fabric remains one of Rapha’s strong suits, with soft organic cotton that feels high-quality. Although it’s a bit thinner compared to their older shirts, the difference isn’t drastic—certainly not as significant as with the new Cotton Hoodie. The T-shirt is very comfortable, offering the softness and durability I expect from Rapha products. Design and Aesthetics I personally like the updated design. The older Logo T-shirts had a mo...

Rapha Men’s Cotton Hoodie Review: Disappointing Quality and Fit

⭐️ ⭐️  The Rapha Men’s Cotton Hoodie was something I had high hopes for, but unfortunately, it left me disappointed. This hoodie is supposed to have an oversized fit, but in reality, it just feels too large and baggy. I've always been a size M in Rapha’s men’s clothing, but things have changed over the past year. While their cycling jerseys still fit fine in M, I’ve had to size down for their off-bike clothing. Normally, sizing down to an S works for me, but this hoodie has a really awkward fit even in size S, as you can see in the pictures. The sleeves are excessively long and super baggy under the arms. The overall length is also too much, making the whole fit feel off. From the same Rapha Cotton Line, I own two t-shirts in size S, and they fit as they should—unlike this hoodie. The inconsistency is frustrating, especially for a brand that usually nails its fit across different product ranges. The value is terrible. Paying €110 for this hoodie is out of the question, but even at ...
