Reebok has a new version of the Floatride Run called the Floatride RS ULTK. It is a knit upper that eliminates the hard plastic cage of the original, and is a bit lighter, but with a bit more drop...

Tyree (4/20/2018, 11:15:36 AM): Hello, how may I assist you today?

Me (4/20/2018, 11:16:02 AM): Good morning! I am looking at the Floatride RS ULTK...

Tyree (4/20/2018, 11:16:30 AM): Okay, and what can I assist you with?

Me (4/20/2018, 11:16:43 AM): 1. May I order a pair in a size US 14?

Me (4/20/2018, 11:17:12 AM): 2. Can you give me the specs on the shoe? Weight, drop, stack height?

Tyree (4/20/2018, 11:17:22 AM): Yes, if that size is available.

Me (4/20/2018, 11:18:29 AM): lol, I assumed I can order it IF it is available... I am asking if it IS available :-)

Tyree (4/20/2018, 11:19:06 AM): I am sorry about that, the size is not available.

Me (4/20/2018, 11:19:39 AM): 2. Can you give me the specs on the shoe? Weight, drop, stack height?

Me (4/20/2018, 11:20:38 AM): The info isn't listed on the webpage like it usually is...

Tyree (4/20/2018, 11:20:47 AM): Give me 2-3 minutes while I try to find that information.

Tyree (4/20/2018, 11:24:03 AM): After further research, the weight is 7.2oz and the drop is 11.6mm, the height is 33.1mm.

Tyree (4/20/2018, 11:24:54 AM): That is all the information we have on the shoe.

Me (4/20/2018, 11:25:28 AM): Weight is 7.2, drop is 11ish mm, so the heel height is 33ish mm and the toe height is 22ish mm?

Tyree (4/20/2018, 11:25:50 AM): Yes

Me (4/20/2018, 11:27:02 AM): I appreciate your time! Can you tell me if there is any way I can SPECIAL order a pair of these in a size 14? And, do you have a release date for the Floatride Run FAST?

Tyree (4/20/2018, 11:28:15 AM): We do not have a release date yet on the Floatride Run Fast and I do apologize but no there is no special way to order them.

Me (4/20/2018, 11:28:56 AM): 10-4. Thanks for your time :-)

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter, as it is only offered up to a 13... But, the Pebax (think: Nike 4%) midsole is really nice, worth checking out.

oh very exciting - apparently Reebok is shipping in July a lower weight (assuming lower stack height with less cushion) version of their pebax shoe called the "Pro" - Floatride Run Fast Pro

it's marathon suitable - this sponsored runner got to use them early for boston (finished fifth OA) so I assume the Pros are in the photo

(now it just come down to how much and how long I have to wait until they are $100 or less)

Yep, that was what I was meaning. Thanks for interpreting my gibberish. The boost in the new sub2 goes all the way to the forefoot and toes.

You guys do realize the boost in the boston goes farther up in the shoe than it appears on the side. Look at the bottom of the shoe.

But they do feel a bit harder in the forefoot than say the Zante.

Apparently, there is a Fast and a Fast Pro. The Pro ($250ish) is something crazy, like 3.4oz. The Fast ($160ish) is a little more substantial, I think 6.8?

My understanding was the the Pro was pretty minimal, tho; this is the first I heard of it being considered for a marathon. If they got a shoe that light to be substantial enough for a full, that’s impressive (and yes, I know people run marathons barefoot...)

Right now my achilles is so stuffed I'm eyeing up shoes like the Ultra Boost st or Sequence or Supernova because a) they're soft and most importantly b) they don't really have traditional backs that stab your achilles.

Enjoy:

You've got to show the soles of these, they look spectacular. In general they look like Reebok's version of the Sub2.

Sole looks same as Floatride Run's... Only upper looks different.

As for Achilles problems, the new Peg35 heel cup curves outward away from Achilles region, so maybe that is a good sign that more upcoming shoes will take that issue into consideration.

A bit of a preview here from Running Warehouse on the Reebok Floatride Run Fast Pro. They are definitely for shorter distances. Honestly just looks like a midsole with some fabric for keeping them attached to your feet and some rubber pellets for grip on the road.

thanks for that, not sure why google failed me for that review on the "pro"

3.5 ounces with pebax? wow! but at $250 msrp, good luck with that

however if the ULTK gets down to $100, maybe will give it a try

really wish I had gotten some takumi when they were on usa clearance

yeah...maybe there pros can run 26.2 in 12.5mm forefoot stack, but not me. http://www.roadtrailrun.com/2017/12/reebok-floatride-brand-with-storied-run.html

WEARING THE REEBOK FLOATRIDE RUN FAST LAUNCHING THIS JULY

“THIS WEEK’S MARATHON WAS A TEST OF GRIT AND PASSION, AND I'M THANKFUL I GET TO REPRESENT REEBOK, A COMPANY THAT EMBODIES THOSE IDEAS. THE SUPPORT THEY HAVE GIVEN ME OVER THE LAST 5 AND A HALF YEARS HAS BEEN FUNDAMENTAL TO MY ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

THE FLOATRIDE RUN FAST IS THE BEST FLAT I'VE EVER OWNED. IT CARRIED ME OVER THE STREETS OF BOSTON TO ONE OF MY BEST RACES YET! WHILE I'D LIKE TO SAY THEY KEPT MY FEET DRY, I DON'T THINK ANYTHING WAS GOING TO STAY DRY OUT THERE.”

It doesn't say "Pro", which is a different shoe.

Reebok Floatride Run Fast – I suspect a lot of road marathoners, or ultramarathoners doing their speed work, will be using this shoe on race day and on workout days as well. Utilizing a Pebax foam midsole the shoe is crazy lightweight (pre-production specs claim 6.1oz in a men’s size 9) for such a cushioned shoe (25.5mm / 17.5mm). It’s a little stiff out-of-the-box but that’s part of the design it seems – to be really snappy when pushing the pace.

(halfway down the page)

The shoe worn at Boston is almost definitely NOT the 3.5oz Pro, but appears to the the 6oz Fast.

I think.

Pennel wore the Fast, DiMercurio wore the Fast Pro.

That's crazy that someone wore a 3.5oz shoe for a marathon. I am sure they felt light during; I wonder how the legs felt after...

[It’s a little stiff out-of-the-box]

The Sub2 was also called stiff by reviewers. I wonder if the solid penbax midsoles are all going to be stiffer than alternative cushion foams?

it's a goofy name "run fast" but does sound a bit like an adios-killer, 6oz, pebax and 8mm drop vs the 10mm in the adios that some find too aggressive (and 4mm or zero too little)

the "snappy when pushing the pace" is just like tpu energy return in the adios

the question is if pebax does tend to self-destruct rather quickly like people report with the vapors

because adios is still responsive up to 500 miles and some use them up to 1000, the continental rubber and tpu pellets just don't wear out

people aren't going to pay $150 for a training shoe that only lasts 250 miles

I take it the "harmony racer" is conventional eva foam or we'd be talking about it too?

looks zante-ish, only 6oz and 6mm drop seems good too
