$200 worth the hype?
Would love to test drive a pair don't think I'd pay $200 tho
It's definitely worth trying if you're able to get in a store and put them on, I've heard some stores are struggling to sell them due to their price. I have a pair and they have a great bounce to them, but not enough that I'd use them for road workouts over my FuelCell Prisms or Endorphin Speeds. They have a very flexible midsole due to a massive flex groove so it doesn't feel stiff like a Hoka and doesn't have the rocker design either. I can't say anything about durability though because I only have 107 miles on mine, but it appears they're doing great.
Personally, I like them for moderate-to-long runs more than other $120-160 trainers I've worn, so it's worth it to me. How much you like it on foot will dictate if it's worth $200 to you, although that's a very vague answer. And if you like having something rare, they've only made 7000 of them.
Ives seen them in stock at dick's sporting good. So people might be able to at least try them on before making a decision.
