Hey All,
Anyone try to the new stability shoe from Nike: the Nike Odyssey?
It has more support than the Structure - making it the most stable shoe in Nike's lineup.
Here's a link to the shoe in on Nike.com:

Anyone try this yet? How does it compare to similar shoes such as the Adidas Supernova Sequence?

It compares directly to the asics kayano. Basically a high cushion high stability show. In my experience that would be more support and cushion than the sequence although I have not tried recent models. In a recent blindfold test 100% of people chose the odyssey over the kayano. No joke.

It's pretty awful. It is supposed to be comparable with Kayano, Hurricane, etc. It just isn't. Don't know what is going on with Nike but they have had a tough time with support shoes the last few years. The Structure now is pretty good, but the previous 2 versions were awful! Structure 15 was a great shoe, and this most recent version is much, much better than it has been lately.
Support-wise, the Odyssey is pretty much the same as the Structure. It's intended to be more, but just flat out doesn't work.
It does have a really nice upper though.
Does anyone else have some information on the shoe. Has opinions changed since the shoe has been out for a while now?
Nowhere near as good as the Nike Air Odyssey from the late eighty and early nineties
I heard that this company, Mizuno, makes the best support shoe. You should check it out.
